Transfer student studying outside at Penn State Shenango

Transfer students

Update: Penn State Shenango will not enroll new students after fall 2025, but Penn State offers a variety of transfer pathways. Explore your options.

Transfer students

Students are eligible to transfer to Penn State if they:

  • Have earned a high school diploma or a GED.
  • Are in good academic standing at your previous college(s).
  • Have attempted or will have attempted 18 or more semester hours of college course work at a regionally accredited college/university before enrolling at Penn State.

See how your credits can transfer

Find out how your previous college work might transfer to Penn State with our Transfer Credit Tool. You will get an idea which classes have already been evaluated, and which classes you may need to submit information about.

How to apply

  1. Create a MyPennState profile.
  2. Fill out the application in your MyPennState profile. Have a copy of your high school and college transcripts available.
  3. Review your MyPennState checklist for prompts to ensure all required supporting materials have been received. These may include: official college final high school and dual enrollment transcripts, or SAT (code #2660) or ACT (code #3656) scores. These may be emailed, mailed, or faxed to our Admissions office. Once all materials have been received, your application will be considered complete.

  4. After receiving your offer of admission, pay the $230 registration fee to save your spot. Congratulations! You’re officially a Penn Stater. Review our information for accepted students and watch your email for next steps. 

Transfer student application evaluation

Transfer applicants that meet the necessary high school requirements, grade-point average minimum, application deadline (if applicable), and campus and/or program requirements are eligible for review for transfer admission. Meeting all of the established criteria is not a guarantee of admission. 

The application will be reviewed once Penn State receives a complete application. Some students may receive a decision within a few weeks, but the majority of reviews take 6 to 8 weeks to reach a decision. 

If accepted, you will receive an evaluation of transferable credits in the mail with your offer of admission. 

The evaluation of transfer credits is based on any transcripts Penn State receives with the application. Prior to receiving this evaluation, students can also check how their course work will transfer using our Transfer Credits Tool.
