The Shields Building, built in 1966, holds the essential University offices that assist students throughout their entire duration as a student. The first floor houses two offices for current students: the
Office of the University Registrar, which helps students with such items as scheduling, enrollment, and transcripts; and the
Office of the Bursar, which handles tuition billing and student account details.
The second floor is home to the
Undergraduate Admissions Office, which processes all applications to Penn State and provides walk-in counselor appointments for prospective and current students, as well as campus tours and information sessions.
The third floor of the Shields Building houses the
Office of Student Aid. This office manages all the many types of financial aid provided to Penn State students and also features walk-in appointments for prospective and current students.
The final office located on the ground floor of Shields is
Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT), an office that works to guide the University in the appropriate use of technology to enrich teaching and learning. In addition to offices, the space includes an experimental classroom space, virtual reality technology, 3D printer, Lightboard for visitors to try, and a One Button Studio.
