CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION
General Information for Students
Agile-SCRUM students
1. All Continuing Professional Education (CPE) students will receive a PSU Student ID (9-digit number beginning
with 9) which was assigned when you registered.
The primary way to identify you as a Penn State University student is your PSU ID. If you attended classes
previously, you already have a PSU ID. It is your responsibility to retain this number and safeguard its
confidentiality. You should have only one PSU ID.
Your social security number (SSN) will be used by the University to verify your identity for official record keeping.
If you choose not to supply your SSN, certain services (transcripts, Act 48 reporting, etc.) may not be available to
you and Penn State cannot guarantee a complete academic record for you. Your SSN is stored confidentially in a
central system.
2. Classroom Assignments and Building Codes
Room assignments will be listed on the scrolling monitors in the building lobbies.
GV Main = Main Building
CC = Conference Center
3. Withdrawals/Refunds
If you cannot attend a course, you may receive a full refund by notifying the Continuing Professional Education
Office at 610-648-3281, BEFORE THE MONDAY PRECEDING THE COURSE. There are NO refunds once class
has begun, and refunds will not be issued for classes missed as a result of illness, personal emergencies, or any
other event beyond the University’s control. No refunds will be made to students who attempt to take courses
without complying with the prerequisite requirements.
4. Course Cancellations
The University reserves the right to cancel courses due to insufficient enrollment or other unforeseen
circumstances. Full refunds will be given in these events.
5. Textbook Information
There are no textbooks needed during any of the Agile related courses. However, visit our website and click on the
link for the course you registered for to see if there is a suggested pre-reading assignment.
6. Directions to Campus and Parking
Parking is free and accessible. Visit our website for directions to our campus:

7. Grades
An official grade report will be sent to you from University Park within three weeks after classes end. Grade letters
are not issued for Pass/Fail courses. Contact the Continuing Professional Education Office if your employer
requires a grade letter for a Pass/Fail course. Be aware that it is against University policy to release grades by
telephone, fax or e-mail.
8. Unexpected Class Cancellations
Cancellations will be announced via e-mail. Please make sure the e-mail you provide when you register is the
correct and preferred one. If you do not have access to your e-mail during regular business hours, please make
arrangements with the Continuing Professional Education Office and your Instructor for alternative means of
notification.
9. Weather Related Closings
Please call the Campus Hotline at 610-648-3399 or check the website at www.sgps.psu.edu for class cancellation
due to severe weather. Your Instructor may elect to cancel class due to weather issues even though the campus is
officially open; you will be notified via e-mail if that is the case. Students are advised to check their e-mail prior to
traveling to class.
