Transfer credit is awarded for academically-based courses that are similar in content and instructional time to the courses on Penn’s campus, taken at a regionally accredited institution, and passed with a grade of C or better. You can review additional details here. Courses that counted toward high school or secondary school graduation are not eligible for transfer credit but may be used for placement.
