Steps for LEAP Registration

(Beginning Tuesday, February 26, 2008, at 5:00 p.m. )

1. You must be a summer 2008 admit to University Park. This includes official receipt of your acceptance and fees. If you have not accepted your offer and paid your fees, you will not be able to register. Entry to LEAP is limited.  Students are admitted on a first come, first served basis.
2. If you are admitted to University Park for the fall semester, but would like
to attend in the summer to participate in the LEAP program, please contact the Admissions Office at 814-865-5471 to change your admission to summer. If you are not a summer admit, you will not be allowed to register for the LEAP program.
3.
Review the LEAP prides offered for the summer 2008 session. Select two
prides in case your first choice is not available. Please note any enrollment limitations—some prides are available only to students in a particular college or program.
4.

Note the six-digit schedule number for your first- and second- choice
prides in the blanks provided. You will use these to select the courses
at our Web site. A short list of the schedule numbers is on the back of
this flap.

(Your Penn State email will not function until you arrive on campus this summer, so you can't send a copy of your schedule to your Penn State account.)
12.
If the pride is not available (the screen will tell you this), enter the six-digit schedule number of another pride and click “Submit.” Continue
making selections until your registration in a LEAP 097 section is confirmed.
Remember to print a copy of the screen for your records or email the schedule to your email address (the one you used to set up your account).
13. Registration for a LEAP 097 section will automatically place you on the list
for LEAP housing, and reserve a place for you in the courses for that pride. (If you have any questions about using the registration application, please select the “Help” option from the top of the Web page for detailed instructions.)
14. If you encounter difficulties, please call the LEAP office at 814-863-4174,
