Although the usual credit hour load for students beyond the freshman year is not to exceed 19, the accomplished student, who has given sufficient evidence of academic proficiency, may request permission to take an overload during any given semester, subject to the following:

  1. A student in less than full academic standing will not be permitted to take more than 13 credit hours.
  2. If the cumulative grade point average ranges between 2.00 and 3.00, the student may be considered for an academic overload not to exceed 20 credit hours.
  3. If the cumulative grade point average ranges between 3.00 and 4.00, the student may be considered for an academic overload not to exceed 22 credit hours.

Overload approval must be obtained prior to registration. The appropriate request form is available from the Registrar.
