Pennsylvania Residency

Active military personnel who maintain legal PA residency while on active duty are considered residents. Proofs of PA residency include: PA income tax returns, PA voter registration, PA driver’s license and mortgage payments within PA, among others.

Students transferring from trade or technical schools that are not regionally accredited may have the opportunity to earn credit through a process known as “challenge by exam.”  This option allows students to demonstrate competency by passing the final exam or showcasing knowledge equivalent to the course content. The exam process is managed by the department chairperson of the relevant academic area (e.g., History, Art).

For more information, please contact the department chairperson in your area of interest to discuss eligibility and procedures for challenging a course.
