A. It depends, most holds will prevent registration but not always.

Students are welcome to contact the Registrar’s Office (717-771-4057 or [email protected]) for help on who to contact for a hold.

Q. Do students have to apply for graduation?

A. Yes! There is an intent to graduate form that is required the semester the student plans to graduate.

Q. How does my student make sure they are taking the right courses for their major?

A. In addition to using resources like the Undergraduate Bulletin, all students enrolled in a degree program are assigned an academic advisor who helps the student understand which courses are required to make progress in their major. Students should contact their adviser at least once a semester to discuss their courses for future semesters. Advisor contact information can be found in LionPATH by clicking on “My Advisors” and by searching the campus directory.

Q. How can my student find out about internships and jobs/careers?

A. The Advising and Career Development office is available to assist Penn State York students with a wide range of career services individually and in group settings. Refer to their website for details.

Q. How can my student contact their academic adviser?

A. Students should have an assigned academic adviser posted in LionPATH by the time classes start in their first semester. One click in the upper right corner of the LionPATH Student Home Base will provide their adviser’s name and email address. Students who need assistance connecting with their adviser can contact the Advising and Career Development office.
