Virtual Information Sessions and Tours
The best way to learn more about Penn State York during this unprecedented time is to visit our beautiful campus virtually! Our Virtual Information Session and Tour is for prospective students of all ages, who are interested in learning more about both Penn State and its application process. Your interactive visit will include a virtual campus tour and information session presented by an admissions counselor, who will be available to answer any of your questions during the session.

Virtual Transfer Student Appointments
Transfer student appointments provide transfer students an opportunity to meet virtually with an admissions counselor to discuss the transfer application process, and how their previously earned college credits might transfer into Penn State. Registrants should plan to provide unofficial college transcripts for this virtual appointment. Register for an appointment by emailing Erin Nelsen at enelsen@psu.edu, or call 717-771-4114.
Self-Guided Tour
Welcome to Penn State York and the Self-Guided Tour. Visit campus and take this eleven-stop QR code tour to learn more about what Penn State York has to offer. The blue tour-stop signs are located by the main entrances of each building. This tour is at your own pace and does not need to be scheduled. Please contact the admissions office at 717-771-4040 if you have questions.
Individual Appointments
Due to compliance guidelines, a parent, guardian, or an adult 18 years or older must be present during the appointment. If an adult cannot be present during your appointment, please contact the Penn State York Office of Admission and we will schedule your meeting with two Penn State staff members.
Please reach out to us directly at ykadmission@psu.edu or 717-771-4040 to schedule a time to meet with us.
