Path Forms

Path@Penn provides students with forms that can be used to make requests related to their academic programs and student record. The Office of the University Registrar maintains and processes these forms in partnership with schools.

If you are an advisor and need to review a form your student has submitted, you can do so by logging in to BP Logix and reviewing your My Tasks dashboard. 

Access to these forms does not infer approval for processing. All submissions are reviewed by the appropriate office prior to processing.
