All academic advising will be conducted via phone or online via Zoom desktop video conferencing through the end of the Spring 2020 semester. If you need an advising appointment, schedule a meeting with your assigned academic adviser. For quick questions, email your assigned adviser; if you are unable to connect with them, email hdp3@psu.edu. Please use your Penn State email.
The basic tasks of the University’s academic advising program are to help advisees identify and achieve their academic goals, to promote intellectual discovery, to encourage students to take advantage of both in- and out-of-class educational opportunities, and to become self-directed learners and decision makers.
Academic advising specialists are available at each campus to help students; in addition, there is a full range of print and electronic advising resources for student use, including LionPath. The Advising Center can help with your advising questions.
The Advising Center offers:
- Academic advising and course scheduling.
- Assistance with selection of major, change of major, change of campus location.
