Registration for Incoming Transfer Students

Incoming transfer students are urged to enroll in fall courses during the summer prior to the processing of freshman course requests in late July. Doing so will improve their chances of getting into courses for which they might be competing with freshmen. Upperclassmen are in the add/drop phase of registration and can continue to add and drop courses until the beginning of the fall semester.

Contact the College Office if there are any problems.

Students submit requests for approval of transfer credit through XCAT (External Course Approval Tool). Incoming transfer students should begin to submit their requests through XCAT as soon as possible after admission. Students should also contact their pre-major advisor during this time to discuss their registration requests.

Note that at least of the overall course units required for the BA degree, as well as at least half of the course units required for the major, must be completed at Penn.

Students register for classes online using Penn InTouch. To access the system, students need a PennKey and password. Prior to registration, please see: Important Details about Registration.
