Academic Overload Request

What is an academic overload?

According to the current catalog, an academic overload occurs when a student takes more than 18 credit hours in a semester, more than 3 credit hours in the Maymester or Wintersession, or more than 6 credit hours in each of the June or July sessions. To carry an overload, students must obtain consent from the associate dean of undergraduate studies of their college.

Approval for an academic overload is not guaranteed and depends on various factors, such as maintaining a GPA of 3.0 or higher. The decision is made after a collaborative discussion to determine if you can handle the additional course load successfully.

Complete the form and send it to Dr. Muriel Cormican, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies for AddRan.
