Advising Locations

Academic advising for general requirements is available in the following locations. Academic departments also have faculty, graduate assistants, and/or peer advisers who advise students who have questions related to their major requirements. Newly admitted undergraduate students must also attend an Orientation: Advising & Registration session in order to register for their first term at PSU.

Graduate and postbaccalaureate students should contact their program or the Office of Graduate Studies directly for information about advising services.

Please call, e-mail, or visit the website of your advising office to find out about appointments or drop-in hours (if offered).
