Advanced Placement and the Sector Requirement
- The Sector Requirement may not be satisfied with advanced placement credit (including A-Levels, I.B., and other similar credit based on external examination). In addition, credit awarded by departmental exam can also not be used to fulfill the Sector Requirement.
- Students who receive an advanced placement credit or waiver in a Living World or Physical World field (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Environmental Science or Psychology) and who take a more advanced course at Penn in that subject, may use the additional course to fulfill the relevant sector. In Psychology, the additional course must have an odd number.
- Pre-College credit, transfer credit, credit away and credit earned studying abroad may be counted toward the Sector Requirement only when departments award credit using the number of a Penn course approved for the Sector Requirement.
