Course Load/Overload
The normal academic course load is no more than 6 credits at a time for undergraduate learners or no more than 3 credits at a time for graduate learners.
A course overload occurs when a learner requests to be scheduled for additional credits beyond the normal academic course load. Course overload requests may not exceed 6 additional credits beyond the normal academic course load for undergraduate learners or 3 additional credits for graduate learners and are subject to be reviewed based on the Academic Program Course Schedules (Sequence). Course overloads are not permitted for doctoral projects. Course overloads require approval by an Academic Official and/or Registrar's Office. It is the learner’s responsibility to discuss the financial impact of a course overload with the Accounting Department. A learner must have successfully completed one term and be in good academic standing to be eligible for a course overload. Course prerequisites will be considered when reviewing course overload requests and may impact the learner’s ability to receive approval for their overload request. A course overload may affect a learner’s ability to meet minimum program length requirements due to some licensure-bound programs’ requirements.
