An application available starting Tuesday, Sept. 27 through eLion gives Penn State students at all campuses the opportunity to compare their non-class schedule conflicts with open courses to make scheduling classes easier. Schedule Planner, an online application, aligns a student's intended courses with self-identified event conflicts -- such as a recurring work schedule, meetings, rehearsals and practice times -- and reports back open class sections that work around those conflicts.

The Office of the University Registrar is pleased to offer additional eLion functionality for parents. With the consent of their student, parents may now view their student's course schedule and grades via the eLion Parent/Other menu. (more)
The Office of the University Registrar at Penn State has announced the implementation of a course watch list in eLion. This application will provide students with the opportunity to be notified when a seat opens in a full section of a course. Students will indicate the course sections they wish to watch and may be notified of an open seat via a Penn State e-mail account and/or a text message to a mobile phone. Students may attempt to schedule the section through the normal avenues. Seats are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. This capability will be available on March 24,2010. To preview the changes, use the eLion Demo at http://eliondemo.oas.psu.edu/ and select "students" from the login menu. (more)
Robert Pangborn, vice president and dean for Undergraduate Education, and John Romano, vice president for commonwealth campuses, have announced the University-wide implementation of the new Early Progress Report (EPR) system, available through eLion for all first-year undergraduate students. EPR is an online system designed to support students in their course work, alerting them early in the semester when they are not making satisfactory progress in their classes. (more)
Students use eLion as a one-stop-shop for registration, advising, checking grades, viewing their account, managing loans and scholarships, and many other functions. But with your student's authorization, parents can also access services in eLion to view and pay tuition bills, print a verification of enrollment for insurance purposes, and review and perform other functions and information. (more)
Changes will be implemented to eLion registration on July 28. These enhancements include design changes to improve usability, as well as security improvements that require students to re-enter their user ID (abc1234) and password when initially selecting registration or drop/add from the left menu in eLion. To preview the changes, visit http://eliondemo.oas.psu.edu/ online. (more)
Wouldn't it be nice to not have to go out in the cold, rain or early morning and make your way across campus to a designated classroom? This can be a reality as, with increasing frequency, Penn State resident instruction classroom-based courses are migrating to the Internet as Web courses. Web courses are convenient because they are time and place free but they do require a special set of self-paced learning skills and habits that are different than the traditional classroom learning environment.

Just because a student can't find something doesn't mean that it's not there. Maybe the student is not looking in the right place. To help students find what they are looking for,the Schedule of Courses, supported by a huge database of information, offers a robust "Advanced search" feature. Without this feature finding something specific, like a Writing Intensive or First Year Seminar course that meets the International Cultures requirement, would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Using the "Advanced search" doesn't require any special skill. It's really easy to use and with it achieving the perfect course schedule now becomes a possibility. (more)
Tip No. 5. Check out all the course listing resources. The typical course listing in the Schedule of Courses (schedule.psu.edu) is comprised of as many as fifteen specific information elements. That can be quite a lot to take in for a first time user. So, before you have to actually use the Schedule of Courses to prepare for registration, check it out and discover the many and varied resources that are available for each course.
