Midsummer 2016 Update
The summer term always brings about changes for university types. Current part-time students are often looking to take more courses during the summer, while full-time students often take fewer courses.

Administrators are often starting or ending assignments, projects, and programs during the summer. Prospects and new students are making inquiries and applications, learning of admission decisions, and registering for their first courses.

Do everything in LionPATH
LionPATH, Penn State’s new student information system, has been phased into daily use since Spring 2016. Students, especially those enrolled in a LDT program degree or certificate, should now be using LionPATH for all of their student information needs, including:
- Registering for courses
- Dropping courses before the official start of the course
- Reviewing grades, transcripts, and schedules
- Paying bills
eLion to LionPATH – Notes for Students
Penn State University is rolling out a new integrated management system called LionPATH. This new product will eventually replace eLion, and eLion’s back-end known as the Integrated Student Information System. Students will begin using LionPATH for all registration and financial functions in Fall 2016. Admissions for Fall 2016 and beyond are already being managed by LionPATH.
There will be much documentation about LionPATH distributed to students. Anyone curious for a sneak peek can visit the Project LionPATH Online Library for tutorials and help documentation.
We ask that students review the messages and publications that are shared with them as we approach the full LionPATH rollout date. As the LDT program learns details that are of particular interest to our students, we will share them, starting with the items below:
