Division of Undergraduate Studies

As an incoming first year student, you are required to attend New Student Orientation (NSO) before you can enroll Penn State courses. The resources below are designed to answer the most common questions that arise leading up to the first day of classes.

The Division of Undergraduate Studies is excited to announce the launch of our new diversity webpage. On the webpage, you will find diversity, equity, and inclusion resources, inspiration from peers, thoughts from our staff, and ways of connecting to the larger Penn State community.

Division of Undergraduate Studies students come from a wide range of communities and experiences. Our goal is to create space where the voices and lived experiences of each individual student can be validated and heard.
