Apply. Accept Your Offer of Admissions. Pay Your Enrollment Fee
New first-year students should accept the offer of admission and pay the enrollment fee to get the advising and scheduling process started. First-year students are defined as those with less than 18 college credits. First-year students must pay a non-refundable fee of $200 to initiate the enrollment process. Enrollment fees can be paid in the Finance Office in Dawson 8.
New transfer students with 18 or more credits at another institution are considered advanced standing students. Transfer students are required to pay a $100 enrollment fee to initiate enrollment. Enrollment fees can be paid in the Finance Office in Dawson 8.
Re-enrolling students that have attended Penn State in the past and are returning to complete a degree after a period of interruption must fill out a re-enrollment form in the Registrar's office in Dawson 6. There is a $20 fee to re-enroll and you may need to replenish your $100 enrollment fee in your student account. For more information about re-enrollment, please visit the re-enrollment web site.
Once you have paid your enrollment fee, you may be required to take an online placement test. If a placement test is required, you will receive a postcard with the web address and access code for the test.
Take Placement Test
Watch for a postcard from University Park FTCAP Operations with information on how to take the online placement test. If you have any questions, please call 814-865-8270 (FTCAP Help Line).
Once you have taken the online test, your results will be sent to the campus and first-year students will be invited to the First-year Testing, Consulting and Advising Program (FTCAP). Transfer and re-enrolling students will receive a registration packet in the mail with details about getting scheduled and completing your registration. Visit the Worthington Scranton registrar site for more infomation.
Attend First Year Testing, Consulting and Advising Program (FTCAP).
New first-year students will receive an invitation to the Worthington Scranton First Year Testing, Consulting and Advising Program for a specific date in December or early January. The program is designed to provide a technology foundation, along with academic advising, to promote your academic success. New students come to campus to receive their Penn State id+ card and access account, attend technology orientation, and participate in an academic advising and scheduling program to initiate the enrollment process.
Re-enrolling and Transfer Students : Schedule Your Courses
Re-enrolling and Transfer students are not required to attend FTCAP. Upon receipt of your enrollment fee, transfer & re-enrolling students will receive a packet of information from the Registrar with your advisor assignment, course scheduling and registration instructions and other important information for completing the enrollment process. For more information, please go to the Registrar home page.
Pay Your Bill. Complete any Financial Aid Requirements
Once you have scheduled your classes, Penn State University will send your semester bill notification to your Penn State email address (which you should have received during FTCAP or prior to scheduling classes.) You may also need to e-sign your Federal Stafford Loan Master Promissory Note. Your eBill and loan information can be accessed in eLION.
Please remember that Penn State will NOT send you a paper bill. You will only receive your bill via email or elion. Be sure your email account is active and that you can access it. If you have problems with accessing your email or elion, please call the IT Support Center at 570-963-2551 or stop by Dawson 116 to get help.
