  • Download and install the app.
  • Choose "Commonwealth Campus"
  • Choose "New Kensington"

The symptom checker can then be accessed at the top of the New Kensington app home screen.

For free interactive self-help therapy, students can access the Penn State Well Track portal at: https://psu.welltrack.com/. 


[email protected]

[email protected] is a new online portal that gives students one place to access comprehensive resources, tools, and information around a range of topics within three pillars: Succeed, Thrive, Matter. The portal offers valuable content related to COVID-19, such as working and learning remotely, managing fears and anxieties, and staying connected while physical distancing.

Students log in to the portal at You.PSU.edu using their Penn State credentials. After logging into the portal for the first time, students can create a profile, take a brief questionnaire, and set goals. Based on this information, the content within the portal is customized to a student’s needs and interests, all while maintaining a student’s privacy and anonymity.
