How does Penn State define an elective credit?!

First of all, you can change your schedule. Advisers are there to give advice you are free to ignore it.

If you want to change the classes you selected at NSO you can go into your myPennState account and change anything you want.

I’m guessing something got lost in translation. You may have electives, depending on you major, but you also must complete 45 credits of Gen Ed, 3 credits of CMPSC/CSE can count as a GQ.

Also, look at the plan for you major to see how much room for free electives you have. Some majors, (eg engineering) do not leave much, if any, room for free electives.
