Credit Overload
Students in good academic standing may register for up to the following number of credits without additional approval:
| Semester | Maximum Credits Without Approval | Credit Overload |
|---|---|---|
| Fall | 18 credits | 19 or more credits |
| Winter | 18 credits | 19 or more credits |
| Spring | 12 credits | 13 or more credits |
A credit overload requires approval from your major program dean.
To request a credit overload, submit an Add Form with the required approval. The Add Form is available on the Student Forms page.
Before requesting a credit overload, students are encouraged to consult with their Academic Advisor to discuss how an increased course load may affect their academic success and degree progress.
