Prepare for your advising meeting  

This initial advising meeting is an opportunity for you to talk one-on-one with an academic adviser about your academic interests and goals and to outline your initial steps to reach them.

The more prepared you are, the more the advising appointment can focus on you and your individual goals. 

• Complete the steps in your NSO Tasklist, including the educational planning survey, ALEKS math placement, transfer credit worksheet, and course planning guide.
• Build a tentative first-semester schedule in your LionPATH Enrollment Shopping Cart prior to your advising appointment.
• Complete your pre-registration activity guide and major preferences guide in LionPATH.

What to expect during the advising meeting 

During the academic advising meeting, you should expect to discuss your academic goals and interests—including how they relate to your academic journey at Penn State in general and your first-semester schedule in particular. This meeting is your final step to enroll in first-semester courses.

We hope that you will continue to engage with academic advisers throughout your academic career and that this will represent the first of many interactions.
