Congratulations on your admission to Penn State Altoona! We look forward to welcoming you to the Penn State community and ensuring a smooth transition to the University.

After placement testing, the next step is to attend the First-Year Testing Counseling and Advising Program (FTCAP). FTCAP assists new, first-year students with educational planning and academic advising. We hope this website will prepare students and families to attend FTCAP.

Students, be sure to bring your completed FTCAP homework on your FTCAP day!
