STEP Registration

STEP Registration Steps

  1. You must be a change of campus student who is approved for entrance to your major at University Park for Fall 2025.
  2. Determine which summer course(s) you would like to take and enroll in the course(s). Meet with your academic advisor to discuss your degree program requirements and the types of courses you should be enrolling in for the summer. Your summer course(s) should help you make progress toward an on-time graduation. You should especially consider courses that are prerequisites to and/or required courses in your program.
  3. Be sure when you search for summer courses in LionPATH you pay attention to the course dates as summer courses occur during a variety of timeframes.
  4. Complete the STEP Application Form (The STEP application process opens in January 2025 and close on April 18, 2025). 
  5. If you would like to live on campus during STEP, visit the Housing Assignment Office website for information about how to obtain a summer housing contract.
