Math for Transfer Students

Prior College Math Courses

Transfer students who took a math course at their previous college or university should speak with their academic advisor about the proper placement in a math course at Penn. Placement may depend, in part, on the approval for transfer credit received from the Math department via XCAT.

Starting Math at Penn

Students who did not take a math course at their previous college or university and plan to do so at Penn should take the Math Diagnostic to determine the proper level of calculus course to take. Transfer students wishing to take this placement exam should let their College advisor know as soon as possible, so that they may be given access to the exam.  You can find out more about starting math at Penn here.
