New Student Orientation Resources
Welcome to the College of Information Sciences and Technology at Penn State!
Take the important steps below to ensure that you are prepared for your academic consultation during your New Student Orientation session.
Take ALEKS if it is required for you. After you receive your score, review the math placement to learn which math class will be appropriate for you and your major of intent.
If you have any transfer, AP, or IB credits, do the following:
- Fill out the Transfer Credit Survey in Starfish
- Find out how your transfer credits will transfer to Penn State.
- Be prepared to share this information with the adviser who helps you in your consultation. Without this information, the adviser might not be able to fully advise you on your first semester.
Review the first semester of the Suggested Academic Plans for your intended major or any major you are considering.
