Adjusting Your Schedule During a Semester

There are a number of options for adjusting your schedule during a semester:

1. Course Drop/Add Period
2. Credit Overload (more than 19 credits in a semester)
3. Late Course Drop
   Important Note: All late drop actions should be taken in consultation with your academic adviser. There are consequences when a course is dropped that may adversely affect financial aid, health insurance, eligibility for a major, and more. Check with the Office of Student Aid and other sources of financial aid (e.g. special scholarships) to investigate the financial implications of a late course drop. International students on most types of visas must maintain a full-time load of at least 12 credits; those who don't risk the likelihood of haveing to leave the United States. Students living in on-campus housing should contact the Housing Assignment Office in 201 Johnston Commons at 814-865-7501 or assignmentoffice@psu.edu to discuss their housing contract status.
4. Late Course Add
5. Deferred Grades
6. Withdrawal from the University
