All Go-60 students may be required to pay the current non-refundable computer fee assessed to all students to help offset computerized record keeping costs. The technology fee is $86 for fewer than 5 credits, $189 for 5 to fewer than 9 credits, and $252 for 9 or more credits. The student fee is $73 for fewer than 5 credits, $177 for 5 to fewer than 9 credits, and $236 for 9 or more credits.

Enrolling in Credit Courses
Go-60 students may enroll in day or evening courses. Students enrolling for the first time will need to complete a Non-degree Student Credit Enrollment Data form. Non-degree Enrollment information is available online on the Registrar’s Office web page. Non-degree students may enroll in up to seven credits on a space-available basis. Students will enroll in courses by accessing their LionPATH student page and completing any to-do items or holds listed.
Go-60 students admitted into a degree program or currently enrolled in one will no longer be eligible for the tuition waiver as per University Park Senate Policy 14-10.
Note: As a part of the initial course enrollment, your Penn State ID picture will be taken in the Housing and Food Service Office, located in Port-Sky Cafe. You must provide a photo ID before the Penn State Student ID can be taken.
Auditing a Course

Course Materials
Go-60 students may purchase all required textbooks and course materials from the Penn State Bookstore on campus.
