Academic Catalog

Schedule Overloads

A full-time student may not schedule an overload of courses without the approval of his or her academic department head on a Registration Exception form. An overload is any number of semester credit hours in excess of 20, and is at the discretion of the student’s academic department head. As a general guideline, the student should have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 in order to take an overload. No more than 24 credits or a total of six courses will be allowed. A student will be assessed a per credit tuition charge for each credit exceeding 20 credits in addition to the full-time tuition charge for that semester. Refer to Tuition and Fees for more information.
