Important information for students new to PSU:

Incoming freshmen and transfer students should complete Orientation prior to scheduling an appointment with their advisor for their first term. Orientation covers the information necessary to select and register for classes, and students may follow up with their advisor afterwards if they have specific questions. 

Students who complete their Orientation the week of November 30, may participate in this group advising sessions:

• Friday, December 4 10 am-12:30 pm (DCP students only)

How to meet with a DCP Advisor:
