Congratulations! You are ready to take the next step toward becoming a Pennsylvania College of Technology student by attending our Connections program.
New students: Welcome to Penn College!
Connections is an orientation program designed to help new students (including transfer and non-traditional) and their parents get ready for college. Students attending any of our campuses are invited; however, students enrolled in true distance-learning majors are exempt. During this program, you will:
- Obtain information about processes such as buying books, selecting a meal plan, processing financial aid, and paying your bill.
- Pick up your Penn College student ID card.
- Learn more about the academic expectations and social opportunities at Penn College.
- Have a greater understanding of "college life" and what it takes to be successful.
- Gain a network of new friends and make connections with staff and faculty who can assist you.
- Get answers to all of your questions so you will be ready to succeed as a Penn College student!
Because statistics show that your success greatly depends on being prepared for the new experiences and challenges of college life, your attendance is required. We want you to succeed!
