There are three types of courses:

• Transfer credit - courses taken before matriculation at Penn.
• Study abroad credit - courses taken at a Penn Abroad program.
• Credit away - courses taken outside of a Penn-approved program after matriculation at Penn.

Prior to taking a transfering a course, you must contact an advisor at advisor@nursing.upenn.edu or 215-898-6687.  You must secure approval for credit away courses through the XCAT system BEFORE taking them.  If you wish to speak with a department directly concerning a particular equivalency request in XCAT, please see the department contact list.
