WE ARE excited you'll be joining the Penn State Greater Allegheny community! Students who are transferring or returning to Penn State Greater Allegheny must attend an individual New Student Orientation (NSO), meet one-on-one with an academic adviser to learn about majors and careers, review your transfer credits, and schedule your classes.
Transfer Student or Adult Learner Checklist
- If you've just been accepted to Penn State, congratulations! Be sure to accept your admission offer and process your official transcripts from the other institution(s) you have attended.
- Check your email regularly. We'll reach out using the email address provided on your admissions application.
- Meet with a transfer advising specialist to schedule classes. Contact our Division of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) office to schedule your advising appointment. You will also have the opportunity to meet with other important offices should you have any questions.
- Learn about the financial aid process and paying your bill.
