FTCAP Information for First-Year Students
Entering in the Summer and Fall of 2006

Congratulations and welcome to Penn State Erie, The Behrend College!

Recently you received information regarding attendance at the First-Year Counseling and Advising program. This day-long program is an academic orientation to the University; we encourage your parents to attend because there are segments designed just for parents.

In addition to meeting with an advisor to schedule for the fall, you will meet representatives from various offices across campus. You will also get your Penn State ID and have your email account activated. You must have proper identification (such as a Driver's License) to obtain your Penn State ID.

Further, the day will include an informational session on financial aid and billing. Please bring any financial aid related paperwork, including your/your parent's Federal PIN, in the event we need to access your FAFSA information.

The program will be held from June 12 - June 29 and July 10 - July 27. Using the reservation form below, you will be able to select which day you would like to attend. Upon receipt of your reservation, you will receive an email notification of your attendance date. Your email confirmation will include additional information, such as a parking permit.
