Course Timetables are published for upcoming semesters and reflect only the time of scheduled courses. These are updated as full Course and Room Rosters closer to when registration opens for the semester. For full descriptions of any courses you see in these listings, visit the University Catalog. To register for courses, visit Penn InTouch.
The Course Selection Period informally known as the Add Period, allows students to visit classes and add and drop courses using Path@Penn before finalizing their schedules. Unlike Advance Registration, during the Course Selection Period courses are filled as students register for them, so timing is important and students will know immediately if they are enrolled.

The Course Selection Period informally known as the Add Period, allows students to visit classes and add and drop courses using Penn InTouch before finalizing their schedules. Unlike Advance Registration, during the Course Selection Period courses are filled as students register for them, so timing is important and students will know immediately if they are enrolled. Students should refer to the academic calendar for specific dates for each semester.
All course requests are processed at the conclusion of the Advance Registration period, regardless of when the request was submitted. There is no advantage to registering early and no guarantee that students will be enrolled in all their requested courses. It is very important to take part in Advance Registration.
For incoming first-year students, Advance Registration takes place over a four-week period in the summer before they arrive.
A first-year student or a first-semester sophomore has not spoken with their pre-major advisor to discuss registration. The student should make an appointment to do so immediately.
Students may change the grade type for a course (to or from pass/fail) until the Deadline to Change Grade Type which is a date between the Drop and Withdrawal deadlines. See the academic calendar for exact dates.
Students may continue to drop a course after the Course Selection Period has ended. Once dropped, the course will be removed from the transcript. See the academic calendar for dates.
During Advance Registration, students submit their preferred courses, as well as alternative courses, using Penn InTouch, the online registration system. Students can submit their course requests at any time during this period. All course requests are processed at the conclusion of the Advance Registration period, regardless of when the request was submitted. There is no advantage to registering early and no guarantee that students will be enrolled in all their requested courses.
Students can determine their "minimum credits to register" by adding their total credits earned to the number of credits for which they are currently enrolled. Enrollment appointments are set when shopping carts open for a given semester and are not adjusted after that date.
The Registration Timetable provides a schedule of when students can begin registering for classes for a specific semester. The timetable provides a chart with the minimum credits and the corresponding first date to register for each student level (e.g., undergraduate, graduate, law, nondegree). Students can determine their "minimum credits to register" by adding their total credits earned to the number of credits for which they are currently enrolled. Enrollment appointments are set when shopping carts open for a given semester and are not adjusted after that date.
All permissions should be issued by the first few weeks of the semester, but may be up until the last day of regular Course Registration (Add/Drop) on January 25, 2022. We will contact you if there is a permit available to you.
Please email ESE Data Coordinator Liana ([email protected]) with your full name, 8-digit Penn ID number, and the relevant course number (s) and your permit request (s) will be marked withdrawn.
Even after receiving and using an authorization during Advance Registration, you may not be enrolled in a course if there are more interested students than available spots.
If a course has greater demand than seats, requesting the course during Advance Registration improves a student’s chance of getting into the course versus registering once the Course Selection (Add/Drop) period begins.
For each ESE course permit that you require, please complete the ESE Permit-Waitlist Form.
Register for a maximum of 3 CUs in your first semester.
There are two components to course registration: Advance Registration and Course Selection (also known as Add/Drop).
Focus on completing the majority of your Category A and B core courses in Year 1.
Some course requests may be granted , some may not. Reasons vary case by case, such as:
Seats outnumber course requests (Students who fulfill the course selection parameters will be randomly chosen by the scheduling system).
