Once admitted to PSU, all undergraduate students are
expected to attend an Orientation: Advising & Registration (OAR) session. This The OAR sessions provide both first-time freshmen and transfer students
with general education and major academic advising,
information on the many support services available to
students as well as the tools needed to register for
classes. Attending an OAR is the best means to
ensure a smooth transition to PSU and to guarantee students
have access to information about the programs and services
the PSU community offers. To register for an OAR session, students should contact the New
Student Orientation program at:

Where do I go for advising after orientation?
Once students have declared a major they should meet
with their departmental adviser on a regular basis. Regular
advising sessions will ensure students complete all the
necessary graduation requirements. The best way to access
an adviser in the academic department is by contacting the
departmental office listed in the PSU Bulletin or on the PSU
Website.
Academic advising for undecided majors
The Undergraduate Advising and Support Center (UASC)
works with students who are undecided about their academic
major or with new students helping them better understand
the general education requirements needed to graduate. The
UASC offers a variety of options for advising; for
additional information see the UASC Advising
Schedule.
