Course Overload

School of Management Policy

Students registering for more than 18 credit hours must obtain course-overload authorization from the Undergraduate Program Office. This should be done at the time of early registration and submitted to the Undergraduate Program Office via our online form. A student will be assessed charges for any credit hours in excess of 18 unless he or she is a senior having no more than 10 courses remaining to complete the degree, has a GPA of 3.3 or above, or is an SMG student taking a 6-credit SMG course. If any of these exceptions apply, then the student will be assessed charges for any credit hours in excess of 20. A student who has a 3.3 or above cumulative average, or is a senior with no more than 10 courses remaining to complete the degree AND is taking a 6-credit SMG course, will be assessed charges for any credit hours in excess of 22. A student registering for 18 or fewer credit hours need not obtain overload authorization. SMG students registered in SMG SM 411 or in an Honors Program seminar will automatically have those credits processed for waiver, and will not need to fill out the Overload Form unless they take coursework beyond the modified cap.
