Possible Spring Transfer? Please help!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Penn State
1

<p>Hi, So fall of 2010 when I was applying to colleges the only major I was considering was Education. So I only considered applying to state schools. I commited to Lock Haven University for fall of 2011, but 2 months ago I changed my major to Politcal Sciene, no longer wishing to pursue the major of Education. I really want to apply to Penn State UP for the spring semester of 2012. However, I have a few concerns that I am having trouble finding the answers to.</p>

<p>-The transfer page on PSU's main website says that UP transfers must have 2 years of college learning complete before applying to tranfser. However, it says students under 17 credits may apply as new students in the Spring. If I chose to do this will I lose all my previous credits earned this semester from LHU?</p>

<p>-Also, If for some reason I would have over 17 credits my first semester (lets say 18), would I have to complete 2 years of college before transfering? </p>

<p>PLEASE HELP!!! Trying to get this down early if I'm gonna apply for the spring semester, I really want to attend Penn State UP! Thank you!</p>

<p>I think your best bet would be to call the Penn State admissions office and speak directly with an admissions counselor. </p>
