Please note:

Classes taken during a 7 ½ week session should be viewed as double the work, given the same material usually covered in 15 weeks is being condensed into half that time. These are the minimum criteria for approving an overload petition; however, additional factors may affect your application. Permission to take an overload is a privilege, not a right.
