Incoming Freshman Academic Information-June 12

Dear Members of the Class of 2017,

We hope that you have had the opportunity to review the Freshman Action List, view the Freshman Videos and complete the Freshman Advising Questionnaire. If you have, then you are ready to meet your peer and pre-major advisors. Please click on the link below and log in with your PennKey and password to see their names and contact information,

Link to your peer and pre-major advisors

In the next few days, you will receive an email from your peer advisor with instructions on scheduling a conversation with your pre-major advisor. During this conversation, you and your pre-major advisor will discuss your academic goals and develop a plan for fall courses. Once you have a plan in place, your advisor will clear you to enter your course requests on Penn InTouch during Advance Registration, June 24 through July 19. View the Registration Tutorial and speak with your peer advisor to learn more about this process.

Please link in for the Freshman Webcast on June 24, 4:00-5:00 PM EST. We will be joined by members of the faculty and advising staff for a discussion of topics important to incoming freshmen. If you would like to submit a question in advance or during the webcast, please send it to Collegewebcast@gmail.com.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to the College of Arts and Sciences in person during New Student Orientation on Tuesday, August 27 at 11:00 AM or 2:00 PM. Your peer advisor will let you know which session to attend.

We hope that you enjoy the rest of your summer.

Sincerely yours,


Dennis DeTurck
Dean of the College
Professor of Mathematics
