We are happy to welcome you to Pennsylvania College of Technology. Because we want your experience to be a positive one, we have developed several programs to help you prepare for life as a college student.

Connections is an orientation program designed to help you (all new students, including transfer and non-traditional) and your parents get ready for college. This is a required two-day program held during the summer months, prior to your first semester at Penn College.

Welcome Weekend is held the two days prior to the start of classes. You will move into your on- and off-campus housing, participate in academic and social activities, and be introduced to current Penn College student leaders, faculty and staff.

Summer PLUS

Summer PLUS (Preparation Leading to Undergraduate Success) is a free five-week summer program for new students who want to remediate their academic weaknesses before starting college in the fall. Along with a chance to retake the placement tests, you'll take non-credit classes which provide an orientation to the pace and expectation of college life, and enhance your cultural and career awareness. PLUS also includes a field trip and other fun events.
