Transferring credits from a community college
To make the process as easy as possible, Penn State, in coordination with several community colleges, has developed Transfer Guides and Articulation Agreements that students can follow to allow a seamless transfer from the community college to Penn State.
Transferring credits from other schools
Penn State offers a University Transfer Course Evaluation Guide to assist prospective students in evaluating courses taken at other institutions to determine if they will transfer.
College credit for prior learning experiences
If you have prior college-level experiences in the military or in the workplace, your academic adviser can help you identify how alternative credit acquisition can apply toward meeting your degree goals. Options available include credit by examination (CLEP), for training in the military or work, such as ACE or DANTES.
