Transfer and Change of Location Students
Transfer and Change of Campus Student Information
If you have transferred to University Park, from another Penn State campus or elsewhere, it is imperative that you contact your chemistry advisor immediately upon arrival (if not before) in order to discuss your course selection. We welcome visits before you start at University Park and would be happy to give you a tour of the labs and discuss a proposed academic plan when you visit. If you have not been assigned an advisor, contact the chemistry department's Undergraduate Program Office at 814-865-9391 or undergrad@chem.psu.edu.
Transfer students enrich the campus culture at University Park. Learn how you can join the Penn State chemistry community!
