Course Overload

A full time undergraduate student may register for 12-18 credit hours each semester. Students, with at least a 3.00 GPA, who wish to take more than 18 hours in any semester must complete an academic appeal form, not to exceed 21 hours.

Required documents

  1. A letter from the student indicating the reason for the overload, the semester in which the student plans to enroll in an overload. The course number(s) and name(s) of the courses to be added for overload, if approved.
  2. Verification from the student's advisor that the student has at least a 3.00 GPA.
  3. After completing the academic appeal paperwork, the School Dean in charge of the student's major should sign the appeal form.
  4. Once all documents and signatures have been obtained, bring the appeal form to the Office of the Registrar to be reviewed by the Vice President for Academic Affairs. You will be notified in writing of the outcome of your appeal.
