For Students Transferring to Another Institution

College of Arts and Sciences students who are applying to transfer to another college or university should visit this site  to download the Common Application “College Report” (“CR”) form. (The form can be found at the bottom of the page under “Complete Transfer Application Packet” - click the form that says “College Official’s Form Only” to download it as a .PDF.)

After downloading the form, fill it out and submit it to the College Office, paying careful attention to the guidelines below:

• Fill out the top portion of the College Report form, which includes personal information, courses completed or enrolled in during the current academic year, and permission for release of information with signature and date. Be advised that omission of this information may delay processing.
• Submit ONE copy of the form, with top portion completed, to Ms. Janna Kane in the College Office (see below). It is the student’s responsibility to provide stamped envelopes addressed to the colleges to which she or he is applying whenever possible, or provide complete mailing addresses for those colleges via email to jannak@sas.upenn.edu. Please be advised that this form requires an official seal and should not be faxed to the institutions.
• Email Ms. Kane at jannak@sas.upenn.edu indicating how many copies of the form are requested, as well as the deadline for submission of materials. Please allow two weeks for processing. Forms submitted less than two weeks before the deadline may not reach the other school in time.
• It is the responsibility of the student to request from the Registrar's Office that official transcripts be sent directly to the colleges the student is applying to. The College Office cannot be responsible for the sending of transcripts.

The form will be signed by Dr. Niel McDowell, Associate Director of Academic Advising.

Students should be aware that the College will use this form solely to report a student’s academic and disciplinary standing. Since the College does not rank its students, no ranking will be provided. This is also not a personal recommendation form; students who need a letter of recommendation should speak with their instructors or advisors.

Submit the College Report (CR form) either in printed form or by email as a .PDF to:
