Attention Pre-baccalaureate Students: Here’s How to Get Your Official Penn Transcript
Successful completion of your online Wharton Pre-baccalaureate course results in a transcript from the University of Pennsylvania. A transcript is a representation of a student’s academic record while at the University of Pennsylvania. You may need a transcript to apply for undergraduate school or when you begin looking for a job.
The Office of the University Registrar can generate official transcripts for a small fee upon request, and most students and alumni can view unofficial transcripts for free at any time on Path@Penn.
For further information regarding fees associated with ordering your transcript and additional instructions on how to order and send or mail your transcripts to yourself or the universities that you intend to apply to, please visit the Office of the Registrar’s website directly: https://srfs.upenn.edu/student-records/transcripts/current-students-1988-present .
Add Your Wharton Global Youth Experience to the Common App
Wharton Global Youth Program has its own CEEB Code. When filling out the Common App or Coalition App during the college application process, enter the code 6999. It is a way to record your learning with Wharton Global Youth.
FYI, CEEB stands for College Entrance Examination Board, which is now more commonly known as the College Board (the organization that administers standardized tests like the SAT and AP exams).
A CEEB Code is a unique identifier that the College Board assigns to high schools, colleges and universities to identify different institutions and programs during the college-application process. In short, a CEEB code functions like an institutional “ID number” that integrates a program into the broader education ecosystem, allowing it to more easily support students’ academic journeys and document the impact of that experience.

Have you completed a Wharton Global Youth Program? Share your experience and tag us on social media
- Follow us on LinkedIn: The LinkedIn social media platform is an excellent place to showcase your professional and educational accomplishments. It’s never too early to start connecting with peers, faculty and teaching assistants, and to proudly display your skills and experiences. Start building your network and your online résumé.
- Add us to the “Education” section of your profile: Have you participated in a Global Youth program or course? Add us (and your badge or digital certificate) to the “Education” section of your LinkedIn profile. Be sure to include the program or course name in the “field of study” portion of the form and whether you received a program certificate or Pre-baccalaureate credits. While Wharton Global Youth provides a rich academic experience, it is not a full diploma program. We recommend using the word “completed” rather than “graduated” when reflecting on your Global Youth experience. The best part of your Wharton Global Youth digital badge is that it is easily shared on most platforms. Accredible has widgets for all major social media channels.
