Can I take a transfer course from another univeristy? icon-olus-circle

Probably, but there are steps to take beforehand.

  • Will the Course Count? Make sure a transfer course will count toward your degree requirements the way you anticipate. The Transfer Course Guide provides details.
  • To get the credits sent to Penn State: Arrange for the other school’s registrar or records office to mail an official transcript to: Office of Admissions, 201 Shields Building, University Park, PA 16802.  Allow several weeks for processing by both the school from which you are transferring credits and by Penn State.  Both may also charge a small processing fee.  If the credits are needed urgently for graduation, see #10 below for the Graduation Information handout.
