New Student Orientation

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.

Good to Know

We have an entire section of helpful information that all new students (and parents and family members) should know as they transition into Penn State Beaver. Check out the tips and links we’ve compiled for you at on our Good to Know page. We cover topics such as:

  • Information Technology
  • Housing & Student Life
  • Academics
  • Health & Wellness
  • Values & Conduct

In addition, there are a ton of resources and handy links on the Current Students page. Bookmark it for future reference.

Video Resources

Financial aid and billing are an important, but often confusing part of a student’s enrollment. The links below provide videos that can help you navigate these critical areas.

  • Student Aid for New Students
  • Office of the Bursar
  • Using Delegated Access and Authorized Payer
