Students at Penn State who have advanced standing in a graduate program are able to register for courses earlier than the general student population. The registration priority dates indicate when students who have previously earned credits are able to register for their next courses. The more credits a student has earned, the earlier the student can get into their next courses, which is particularly helpful for students who are approaching degree completion and graduation.

For courses offered during the Spring 2016 semester:

• Students who have earned 20 or more credits (not including any in-progress credits) are able to register on Tuesday, October 13, 2015.
• Students who have earned 9 or more credits (not including any in-progress credits) are able to register on Tuesday, October 20, 2015.
• Any student (including those with zero to 8 credits earned) is able to register on Tuesday, October 27, 2015.

World Campus students must follow the typical course registration procedures:

• eLion – for students currently enrolled with, and taking courses through, World Campus
• 800-252-3592 – for students who have been accepted into a LDT online program but who are taking their first course or who are returning after an absence

As always, questions about the proper method to register can be directed to the LDT online programs support staff at 814-865-0473.
