We hope you're as excited about the upcoming year at Penn State Beaver as we are!
Penn State’s Virtual New Student Orientation (NSO) program is underway. If you have not taken the ALEKS Math Assessment (first-year students only) and/or scheduled your Virtual New Student Orientation date, please visit orientation.psu.edu/participate.
Students
Now that you’ve accepted your offer of admission and committed to Penn State Beaver, we're sure you’re anxious to schedule your fall classes. Remember that you must participate in NSO before you can schedule any classes. In fact, during the NSO process, you will work with an academic advisor who will help you to build your schedule. NSO dates are filling fast, so be sure to register for your NSO soon at orientation.psu.edu/participate.
Parents and Family Members
We haven’t forgotten about you. We’ve scheduled eight Penn State Beaver Parent & Family Orientation Webinars on various days and times this summer for you to connect with us. If you are a parent or family member who will be supporting your student through the transition from high school to Penn State Beaver, we strongly encourage you to sign up for a session as soon as possible. Go to our virtual events portal to see the available dates and register.
