If you're currently attending a Penn State campus and considering transferring to a different Penn State campus, you can complete the change of campus process.

To be eligible for a change of campus, you must:

  • Be enrolled in a major.
  • Be between 4th and 5th semester standing (44.1–74 total credits earned).
  • Request a permanent change to a campus where your major can be completed.

Permanent vs. Temporary Changes

You can request either a permanent or temporary change of campus. If you only need to attend a different Penn State campus for one semester, request a temporary change of campus. Before making this decision, be sure to discuss it with your assigned academic adviser. Once your temporary change is approved, you’ll need to return to your original campus at the end of the semester.

For more details on using the Update Campus feature, visit the LionPATH help page.

Changing Your Major and Campus

Changing your major and changing your campus are separate processes. If you need to change your major, you must complete that first.

If you’re transferring a course from another institution to meet entrance-to-major (ETM) requirements, the course must be posted to your Penn State record before you can request a change of major or campus.

If you have a pending change of major request in Update Academics in LionPATH, you won’t be able to submit a change of campus request. However, if you receive a conditional response for your change of major, you can then file a change of campus request.
