Advising

  2. The PSU Course Planning Guide shows when certain classes are offered during the year and is beneficial when planning your long term schedule.
  3. To enroll in 300-level graphic design courses, all students must submit a portfolio of work for evaluation and approval as part of this Graphic Design Sophomore Review.
  4. Professor Hines created the PSUGD BFA Graduation Requirements Planner to help you map your schedule throughout your whole time at PSU. Print and fill in with a pencil so you can make changes as you go! Our BFA degree is new as of the 2017-2018 school year. If you are a current BA/BA student you can find your Graduation Requirements Planner here.

New and transfer students, if you need assistance with general advising, please make an appointment with one of our College of the Arts advisors.

Printing on Campus

Screen Shot 2016-01-02 at 9.43.01 PM

Green Room printing Lab
Your best bet for printing on campus is the the Green Room in the Art Annex. There’s a great inkjet that prints up to A2 sized sheets. You can also use the laser printer there for critiques (though it’s not good enough for final prints).

Neuberger Computer lab is another option. Below is the list of equipment available. You generally  need to use the paper they have, which can be limiting, but when you need prints for class, this lab offers affordable printing in color and black and white of 8.5×11 and 11×17. They also do over-sized inkjet printing, that is of good quality.
