The Transfer Credit Report

If you have transfer credit that has been labeled as XFRPEN and have submitted your documentation to the Admissions Office, you can check on the status of your review using the Transfer Credit Report in LionPATH. This report provides you with the most recent information available on the status of your transferred work.

Running the Report 

To access the Transfer Credit Report, log in to LionPATH and select the Transfer Credit button, as shown in Figure 4.2.

The page that opens after this button is selected will automatically show you your Transfer Credit Report (Figure 4.3). You can also access the Transfer Credit Tool that we explored earlier from this page.

Once the report opens, there are three areas in particular that you will want to pay close attention to:

• The Equivalent Course column designates how the course is currently transferring in to Penn State. If this area still shows XFRPEN that means that a decision has not yet been made. Otherwise, you can refer to this list of equivalencies Links to an external site. to help you understand how your course has transferred.
• The Units column shows you how many credits your course has been awarded.
• The Status column indicates whether your course will populate on your degree audit. If this status is set to "complete," your courses have been validated but will not yet show in your audit. This will not occur until the status changes to "posted."

Now that you've seen this information, try logging in to LionPATH and check on the status of your own courses.
