How do I get a copy of my degree audit?
Students may request a copy of their degree audit by going
into https://eLion.oas.psu.edu.
The first page of the degree audit contains the IE students
major GPA (IE courses only). Questions about the degree audit
should be referred to the student's advisor (also found on
the first page of the audit).
Is it important that I take the required prerequisite
courses before registering for an IE course?
Students should check the prerequisites before registering
for an IE class. The prerequisites are listed in the Baccalaureate
Degree Programs Bulletin and on the IE
web page . During the first week of each semester, each
IE instructor receives a list of students in his/her class
who have not taken the prerequisites for that class. The instructor
has the right to disenroll a student who does not have the
proper prerequisites. In some cases the student has taken
an equivalent course either at Penn State or at another university.
It is the student's responsibility to notify the instructor
if he/she has taken an equivalent course.
How do find out which courses will count
toward my AHS requirements?
As part of the General Education requirements,
students are required to take six credits each in the
Arts, Humanities, and Social, and Behavioral Sciences. One
of the courses must be classified as Intercultural and International
Competence or GI (formerly diversity focus [DF]). All of the
courses from which to choose are listed in the General
Education in the Curriculum booklet. Courses designated
as GI or DF should also be designated as GA for Arts, GH for
Humanities, or GS for Social Sciences in order for them to
count toward one of the requirements. The course that satisfies
the diversity focus requirement will have either a GI or DF
designation. The AHS courses offered for a particular semester
can be found on the web http://soc.our.psu.edu/soc/gen_search.cfm
What is the 9-6-3 option?
A student may prefer to take nine credits in
one of the knowledge domains (either Arts, Humanities, or
Social and Behavioral Sciences), six credits in another, and
three credits in the third domain. Students taking the 9-6-3
option must complete a petition form (from the IE office)
in order to have their degree audit updated.
How can I fulfill the IE elective requirements?
The IE web page and the IE Handbook list courses that are
acceptable as IE electives (Science, Senior, Design, and Technical).
In addition, IE 497 (or one-semester title) courses with an
attached suffix are offered each semester to be used as electives.
The IE office keeps copies of current course offerings, and
the Senior, Design and Technical Electives are identified
with S, D, and T. A course designated as a Senior Elective
or a course designated as a Design Elective may be used to
satisfy the Technical Elective requirement. Also, a course
designated as a Design Elective may be used to satisfy the
Senior Elective requirement. However, a Senior Elective may
never be used to satisfy the Design Elective requirement.
The same course MAY NOT be used to satisfy two of the
electives. Students need to take twelve credits to fulfill
the Science, Senior, Design and Technical Electives.
