Graduate and professional programs follow their own calendars with different registration/drop deadlines, which are typically available on the website of the school or program.
The College of Liberal and Professional Studies may have different registration/drop deadlines. Please visit the LPS website, www.sas.upenn.edu/lps/ for more information.
Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, the first two days of Passover, and Good Friday are religious holidays that affect large numbers of University community members and that fall during the academic year. To view the University’s policy regarding these and other holidays, please visit www.vpul.upenn.edu/osl/holidays.html.
The University’s Three-Year Academic Calendar is subject to change. In the event that changes are made, the latest, most up-to-date version will be posted to Almanac’s website, www.upenn.edu/almanac.
