During arrival week each semester, new students receive instruction and counseling about their courses of study, including help with registration and class schedule adjustments, and they participate in special activities. Each student is assigned an academic adviser in his or her college, or the Division of Undergraduate Studies. The adviser is available to help a student plan an academic program, schedule each semester's courses, and provide information about majors. The adviser will also refer a student to other appropriate sources of information. These are located in every college at University Park and at all other Penn State undergraduate locations.
Centers provide advising and contain information about academic programs.
It can be accessed at elion.psu.edu. At each campus, a list of the course offerings is published each semester. It contains important dates and information useful throughout the semester and should be retained for reference. Many students find it useful to keep a Schedule of Courses from past semesters in order to identify the patterns in which certain courses are commonly offered. The University reserves the right to change the requirements and regulations listed here and to determine whether a student has satisfactorily met its requirements for admission or graduation, and to reject any applicant for any reason the University determines to be material to the applicant's qualifications to pursue higher education.
