PaSSS Enrollment Application

Yes! I would like to enroll in the Pathway to Success Summer Start Program at Penn State Brandywine.
In order to successfully enroll, I will accept my offer of admission to Penn State Brandywine in my My Penn State account by May 1, 2022 (if I haven't already done so).
If am not already admitted for the summer semester, I give Admissions permission to change my starting semester from Fall 2022 to Summer 2022 so that I am able to participate in the PaSSS program.
I accept enrollment in the following PaSSS classes. Students must enroll in both courses to take part in the PaSSS program. Course descriptions can be viewed at https://brandywine.psu.edu/academics/pathway-to-success/courses.
I will schedule my Orientation ASAP. In order to participate in PaSSS, Brandywine students need to attend an orientation before June 27th, 2022. (https://orientation.psu.edu/participate).
I understand that PaSSS courses are being offered on campus, but there is no on-campus living option during the summer semester.
I understand that as part of my enrollment in the PaSSS program I will participate in co-curricular programming, including tutoring and mentoring, to help prepare me for the transition to college.
