Additional Course Policy

Policy

A MD student can take University registered courses, with no additional tuition charges, according to the following guidelines:

* the number of total credits is limited to three between matriculation and graduation (typically, one course equals one credit)

* the course will be taken during Fall or Spring of a MD tuition semester

* all add and drop deadlines are adhered to (check the university calendar for deadlines: http://www.upenn.edu/almanac/3yearcal.html)

* all course requirements are successfully completed and a passing grade is earned (e.g. students can not audit a class)

Failure to comply with any of these guidelines may result in a student being responsible for course tuition.  The tuition charge for one course is typically between $4,000 to $7,000 and varies by program/school.

Course Registration

The University's course timetable can be found by going to http://www.upenn.edu/registrar/.
If a course needs permission, please look for the department's website and request that a permit be put into SRS. Once you've decided on a course (and have permission if needed), please let Helene Weinberg, Registrar, know so she can add the registration.

This policy is reviewed annually and subject to change.
