Are all summer students automatically registered for LEAP?
NO! LEAP is a choice each student makes by registering for LEAP 097 courses. LEAP is a special program which creates a small-college atmosphere within the larger University by fostering a sense of community. Of the first-year students who will begin their studies at Penn State University Park this summer, more than half will participate in LEAP. In the past, well over 80% of LEAP students were glad they participated! The program is only for first year students who have already been offered fall or summer admission to Penn State University Park, and only takes place during the summer. Students admitted for fall must contact the Admissions Office to change to summer admission.
