Application Steps for Transfer Students 

Please review these helpful steps to understand the Penn State application as a transfer student.

Our application for transfer admission is available in the MyPennState account. This is where you will complete your application and track your status. 

Select your intended major, Penn State Brandywine as your campus, and the semester you plan to begin. As a transfer student, you may choose from Brandywine’s four-year degree programs or a major you can start at Brandywine and complete at another Penn State campus. Transfer admission requirements may vary by major. Explore Penn State Majors.

After you have selected your program, campus, and starting term, it is time to submit your application on the MyPennState Portal. Applicants are required to pay a $65 non-refundable application fee via credit card. 

Students who request and receive an approved application fee waiver will be able to bypass the payment screen on the application. Please see the fee waiver instructions above.
