This lesson covers Penn State procedures that help students to process exceptions to academic policies that they need to make, and to handle financial and faculty issues that arise. We will also cover an exception that Penn State Admissions sometimes makes to allow a student admission into a degree program—deficiency in the foreign language admission requirement.
