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.
