Transfer credit evaluation
For planning to take equivalent courses at other institutions.
It's always best to choose a course in
advance that you know will count for a
Penn State course you need!
Find a previously approved equivalent course in advance
The Admissions office has a list of courses at other institutions that are already approved as equivalent to certain Penn State courses.
If the course you're considering taking is not on the list, bring the syllabus to the appropriate Penn State department (Biology, Math, Chemistry, Physics, etc.) to evaluate the course.
What if I have already taken the course?
Check to see if that course is equivalent to a Penn State course. If not, provide your advisor with a syllabus from that course to evaluate whether it can be petitioned as a substitute.
