Fall 2025 Parts of Term
DROP & ADD Calendar DATES
August 25- December 14, 2025
Programs on the Parts of Term calendar are listed on the Purdue University Online Student Experience website. This calendar only applies to students in online or hybrid programs.
It is strongly recommended to contact your advisor before making any scheduling changes.
Please note the submission date is not the effective date. Your request cannot be processed until all required actions from campus partners are complete. Students might be prompted to request permission in the registration workflow outside of the specified dates, if that happens students should always proceed with requesting permission to register. This may affect your refund and/ or if your request is canceled for not meeting the university established deadlines.
All required actions must be completed by 11:59 PM EST on said deadline day.
If you are dropping your last, final, or only course for the semester, please complete the withdrawal form rather than dropping the course in scheduling assistant. If you already completed a course during this semester, your grade will remain on your transcript.
