Transcripts

All return transcripts must first be sent to Penn Abroad who will then post the transcripts on the Penn Abroad portal. Please note that it can take several weeks and even months for return transcripts to be made available. 

All students studying abroad are required to have all courses taken while abroad posted as Penn credit on their official Penn Engineering transcript. To ensure timely posting on the Penn transcript, please follow the steps below:

  • Make sure all courses taken abroad are in XCAT.
  • Withdraw from all courses that will not appear on your return transcript even if you were approved for the course.
  • If there are courses that still require approval, please contact the Penn Engineering study abroad advisor immediately to discuss the issue.

Please note that we reserve the right to adjust CUs when posting the return transcript to ensure that we do not fall below or exceed the limits of study abroad credits allowed.
