@jlhpsu This says that you can if you have enough credits. https://handbook.psu.edu/content/change-of-campus
You need a minimum of 45 credits before you can apply for transfer, so either it means you have 45 credits in December so can apply in October for Spring transfer, or you have 45 credits in December so can apply for Fall transfer and still take 15 more credits in the Spring at your original campus. Since all students I’ve heard of arrived in the Fall I’m guessin it’s the latter, not the former.
@jlhpsu: how do you understand this?
@andrew2018: have you started reading daily?
@MYOS1634 I agree. Since many students take 15 credits each semester, the majority of students will have 45 credits by December of their sophomore year. So I don’t think that it’s saying you can apply to go to UP in January of your sophomore year as long as you’ve completed 45 credits - because that would be most students. I think it is saying you have to have 45 credits before you can even apply. Which means if they want to go to UP in January of Sophomore year, one would have to have 45 credits complete before their sophomore year. Which is tough.
@Andrew2018 You need to keep in mind that even if you could do this, which I doubt, transferring in the middle of a school year is tough. You will have a VERY DIFFICULT time finding housing and that is if you can do it at all. Completing 45 credits in one year is not possible unless you are coming in with A LOT of transfer credits. Also, if you can continue the progression of you degree at the commonwealth campus (if you have ANY gen eds left to take), then you can’t go to UP. The only way they let you go early is if you HAVE TO. I’ve never heard of anyone getting approved to do it the way you are expecting to do it and I’m an alumni, so is my husband and I have two kids at Penn State AND I was a parent ambassador for a while.
The link you posted clearly says “Note: Relocation to University Park during the first two years of academic work will be approved only under exceptional circumstances”.
You really, really need to accept that unless you are in a major that REQUIRES you to go to UP early, you will be at Brandywine for 2 years.
@jlhpsu I got accepted to Brandywine for the fall of 2018. I do not really care as much as I used to about getting to UP “EARLY” anymore.
