The add, drop, and withdrawal deadlines for full-semester courses can be found in the Penn Academic Calendar and half-semester courses on the Wharton 0.5 CU Courses page. Please also note the following:
- After the Course Selection (Add) Period, students may request additional courses only with the permission of the instructors and with approval from the Undergraduate Petitions Committee.
- Some courses and academic departments have different rules governing their course selection, drop and withdrawal policies. Consult the department websites and individual faculty for more information.
- Students who are receiving financial aid should check with Student Registration & Financial Services before dropping a course, since some packages require a minimum number of credits per semester.
- International students have strict course-load requirements and must consult with Penn ISSS about their course load.
- Student athletes have strict course-load requirements and should consult with their athletics advisor about their course load.
- Students who wish to withdraw from a course, should review the withdrawal policies.
