I
haven't been in school in years, can I really do this?
Of
course, you can! Remember, you aren't in this alone. We are here to support
you, but you've got to make the personal commitment.
I wasn't a great student in high school. What do you mean I need to collect my high school transcripts?
Although
the Admissions Office will look at your high school transcripts, they are most
interested in your transfer credits. How did you do in your associate degree
program? Probably, pretty well. Instead of fretting, come in and meet with
us and we'll give you our best unofficial evaluation of your credits.
How many credits do I have to take?
That
is up to you. There is no minimum credit requirement per semester. The University
likes to see you progressing toward your degree, so it is recommended that
you take a minimum of three credits each fall and spring semester. If you do
not, you will need to pay a nominal re-enrollment fee to come back when you
return. Reenrollment forms are available online at http://www.psu.edu/registrar
Where can I get copies of the health form I need to complete?
The Pre-Entrance Health Examination form is a requirement for all University students. We are aware that some returning students may have some questions about the vaccination section, especially if you were born before 1957. For more info go to the University Health Services web site, Compliance Section at http://www.sa.psu.edu/uhs/currentstudents/immunization_compliance.cfm and click on Immunization Requirements and Sample Form for information on how to negotiate reconsideration of vaccination requirements in special circumstances. (If a login box appears, just click "Cancel"; you can still view the material without logging in.) You can also contact the Campus Coordinator about this. The Annual Health Examination Form is required for attendance at clinical.

Where do I go for my clinicals?
Clinical
experience may be demonstrated in a variety of settings - hospitals and community
settings. They are designed to meet the objectives of the course and the educational
needs of the student.
How long do I have to finish my degree?
The
University has expectations of your finishing in approximately 10 years. However,
if you do not take classes for a period of time, you will need to re-enroll
into the program.
