Students are able to see courses which have already been accredited by Penn State by viewing the course accreditation list . Be aware that this is a historical document. Some courses may no longer be offered at Penn State and the credit values listed may differ from what you will receive for the course. IEPS must enter the credit amount that is on your overseas transcript. If a student plans to take a course that does not appear on the list, that course has not been previously approved.
Students are responsible for obtaining the documentation needed for course accreditation.
This information is typically a syllabus or complete description of the course, including a list of required texts, assignments, and exams. Complete the top portion of the form and attach it to the syllabus. Keep in mind that a course description or short catalog paragraph will not be acceptable. If you wait until you return to campus to submit syllabi, it may delay the reporting of your grades. The forms will then be sent to the appropriate academic department for the assignment of a course number. .
