Information for Transfer Students (students who earned 18 or more college credits after graduating from high school).

Information for First-Year Students (students who earned fewer than 18 credits after graduating from high school).

Transfer Students

If you earned 18 or more college credits after graduating from high school, you are considered a transfer student. Otherwise, you are considered a first-year student and should review the information in the First-Year Students section below.

You will receive an email from are12@psu.edu titled, "Welcomg to Penn State Berks: Transfer Student Information," with instructions and next steps for advising and scheduling.

This email will be sent shortly after you accept your offer admission to both your PSU email and personal email on file from your application.

You will need to contact the specific adviser listed in that email to review your transfer courses and discuss courses you should enroll in for your first semester at Berks.

Any questions can be directed to Aubrey Edwards (are12@psu.edu).

New First-Year Students

If you have earned fewer than 18 college credits after graduating from high school, you are considered a first-year student.

First-year students will finalize their schedule during New Student Orientation (NSO) as part of the virtual session. We look forward to seeing you!
