什么是ALEKS ??
The ALEKS Math Assessment ensures students' readiness for particular math, 统计数据, 以及推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜的化学课程. 因为这些课程要求很高, it is important for students to begin in the course most likely to lead to success. Students will not be permitted to take a course unless they have demonstrated readiness. 完成初步评估后, students who wish to improve their skills may use the included learning modules.
谁必须带上亚历克斯?
从2021年春季开始, first-year and transfer students admitted to any campus except World Campus who completed calculus in high school will automatically place into the 76-100 ALEKS placement band. The LionPATH Academic Background will show a dummy ALEKS score of 101.
都是大一新生 who do not have calculus on their admissions record will be required to complete ALEKS in order to schedule a course that requires placement as a pre-requisite. Students will be instructed to complete the ALEKS assessment prior to attending their NSO program by multiple official NSO communications.
都是大一新生, 不管他们高中的微积分经验如何, 自动访问ALEKS.
Students beginning classes in Spring semester may begin the assessment November 1. Students beginning classes in Summer and Fall semesters may begin the assessment March 1.
New transfer students who do not have calculus on their admission record may be directed to take the ALEKS assessment by their academic adviser using the following guidelines:
Students who have not taken a college level math course should be directed to take ALEKS. 顾问必须提出访问请求*.
Students whose transfer courses have been transcribed as equivalent to PSU courses will use those courses to meet prerequisites.
All other students intending to take a math course should work through the campus-specific procedure for pre-requisite overrides.
学生什么时候上ALEKS课?
Students need to demonstrate readiness for their scheduled courses via ALEKS assessment prior to the start of classes. Students beginning classes in Spring semester may begin the assessment November 1. Students beginning classes in Summer and Fall semesters may begin the assessment March 1.
测试的截止日期是什么时候?
Students will not be able to register for math courses in LionPATH unless they have the appropriate ALEKS placement test score or transfer credits for the pre-requisite course.
转学课程将如何影响ALEKS的安置?
Math course(s) transferred from accredited colleges and universities and evaluated by Penn State as:
直接相当于PSU的数学课程, entered on a student’s transcript with a specific Penn State course number, i.e.、数学021tr、数学140tr等.，将覆盖ALEKS的位置.
一般等价物, 在学生的成绩单上记录为MATH GEN, will require the student to complete ALEKS placement to verify their appropriate Math placement at Penn State.
没有单独的化学分班测试:
Many science, engineering, and health-focused programs require CHEM 110. CHEM 110 is a rigorous course involving significant mathematical manipulation and algebra proficiency. Chemistry placement will be based on previous exposure to chemistry in high school, 任何荣誉或AP化学考试的成绩, 以及在ALEKS数学评估中的表现.
没有学过化学的学生, 应该从化学101开始吗, 因为CHEM 110不是入门课程. If students have gaps in math and/or chemistry preparation, they will need additional preparation before taking CHEM 110.
同步专业(双学位)信息:
Two programs--concurrent majors and sequential majors--allow a baccalaureate or associate degree candidate to earn degrees in more than one Penn State major. 完成同期专业时, the student simultaneously completes all academic requirements for his/her majors and graduates with two (or more) degrees in the same semester.

英语202 A或B或C或D?
There are four different types of English 202 classes: English 202A, 英语202 b, 英语202 c, 英语202D.
- 在阿宾顿, enrollment in one of these courses is often restricted to students in their fourth semester or higher.
- A student may take only one course for credit from ENGL 202A, 202B, 202C, and 202D.
- Students should be advised to base the specific type of English 202 class that they take on their major (or intended major).
英语202A:社会科学写作. 英语202B:人文写作. 英语202 c: Technical Writing (for our Engineering and Science students, IST学生可选修英语202C或202D). 英语202D:商务写作. 如果学生没有明智地选择课程, he or she may find that they need to retake the appropriate section of English 202 for their major and will not receive credit for their first course that they took (non 阿宾顿 majors).
What is the difference between CAS 100, 100A, 100B and 100c?
- 在阿宾顿, CAS 100 sections are usually taught off campus and are reserved for students in one of our continuing education programs.
- CAS 100A强调公众演讲 & 演讲.
- CAS 100B侧重于群体问题解决 & 小组的演讲.
- Some campuses offer CAS 100C which involves message evaluation and analysis. 目前阿宾顿不提供CAS 100C.
- 阿宾顿 degree seeking students should choose between CAS 100A or CAS 100B based on their interests and skills.
谁是我的顾问? 我有多少顾问? 他们的平均绩点是多少? 他们的学期成绩如何?
If you would like to see a snapshot of your advising load you can do so in 海星. 海星 also will allow you to download your current “advising roster” in excel. Students-> My students->Connection-> Assigned Adviser. Having this list saved in excel may be helpful at FAR time.
You also may use the “additional filters” feature in 海星 to look at specific groups of students such as filtering by Cumulative GPA or Semester Standing (Level).
How do I request a new adviser for one of my advisees?
请填写 顾问更改表格. 有人会在5个工作日内与你联系.
