As you begin exploring if a campus change is right for you (or necessary to pursue your major), it is important to reflect on all considerations and taking action in a timely manner for a smooth transition. While you will be responsible to make your change of campus happen, it is important to know you are not alone in the process! There are a variety of support resources at all Penn State campuses to ensure your success.

Your Academic Adviser

Your relationship with your academic adviser is one of the most valuable in your college career. Your academic adviser is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to your entrance to major requirements. They also serve as a great resource to navigate the change-of-campus considerations and assist when you are eligible for a change-of-campus request.

To find out who your academic adviser is, click on the “My Advisers” tab in the top right corner of your LionPATH homepage or the “My Success Network” tab in Starfish.

Change-of-Campus Contacts

No matter which Penn State campus you are enrolled, there are dedicated individuals who can assist you in learning more about the change-of-campus process. View contact information for Commonwealth Campus and University Park support.

Your Change-of-Campus Team

The Student Orientation and Transition Programs (SOTP) team at University Park is here to support students navigating the change‑of‑campus process—whether you are planning to transition to University Park from a Commonwealth Campus or are exploring a move between Commonwealth Campuses.

While the team does not provide academic advising, they can help you understand how the change‑of‑campus process works, answer general questions, and guide you toward the appropriate resources that can further assist you.

For support, please email changeofcampus@psu.edu. The SOTP team is ready to help you throughout your transition.
