Ryan Service, director of enrollment services at Penn State York, meets with his team via Zoom to plan for the upcoming virtual events being offered from Accepted Student Programs and Spring Open House to financial aid sessions and special topics.
Penn State York has a variety of virtual events scheduled, April through May, to provide prospective students, accepted students, and current students with information about the campus and programs. Due to COVID-19, and the need for social distancing, these events, which are usually face-to-face, are now being offered virtually.
Virtual Accepted Student Programs
There’s still time for accepted students to attend the Virtual Accepted Student Program (ASP) from 9 to 11:30 a.m. on April 10 and May 21.. This virtual experience will provide an opportunity to learn about next steps, new student orientation, student life, financial aid, and more. Faculty, staff, and current students will be available to answer questions. Additional ASP programs will be added for May.
Virtual Visits - Special Topic Sessions
These virtual visits are designed to help prospective, accepted, and current students to learn more about offerings on campus. Session topics for Virtual Visits include the Graham Fellows Programs for Entrepreneurial Leadership (Graham Fellows Program), athletics, opportunities to participate in undergraduate research, student services, financial aid, and more. The programs, delivered via Zoom, are from 4-5 p.m. in April and May, and begin April 13.
Transfer Wednesdays
Transfer Wednesdays 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. Students can register now for a Transfer Wednesday Virtual appointment (https://apply.psu.edu/portal/yk-pr-Trans), or call 717-771-4114 for additional appointment options.
