(1)These dates are based on a full semester calendar as established by the University and apply only to courses that begin and end as shown. Some courses in this schedule do not begin and end following full semester dates, and when applicable, the irregular course begin/end dates are shown in the course listing. Add, drop, and late drop actions for irregular scheduled courses follow a proportional schedule and questions in this regard should be directed to the Enrollment Services/Academic Records Office, Swatara Building. Starting with the first day of classes, a tuition penalty may be charged if a course is dropped. Contact the Bursar's Office, Swatara Building, or Tuition Adjustment Policy, concerning refunds for students enrolled in 12 or fewer credits.

(2)This deadline allows time for paperwork to travel to University Park and be processed before the grade defaults to an F.

Notice: This calendar is subject to change without notice. In preparing the calendar for an academic year, the University makes every effort to avoid conflicts with religious holidays. However, conflicts are sometimes unavoidable. When they occur, efforts are made to make special arrangements for students affected.
