Course Overload Registration

In the fall or spring semester, full-time students may take any four courses regardless of their unit value, or five or six courses that total no more than 4.75 units, without incurring additional tuition charges. An overload consists of five or six courses totaling more than 4.75 units or more than six courses. During Summerterm, an overload consists of more than two units of credit. Full-time students registered for more than six courses or for five or six courses totaling more than 4.75 units and not meeting criteria for a course overload without additional charges will be charged an overload fee.

Any student making satisfactory progress toward graduation may take an overload totaling up to 5.75 units free of charge. Satisfactory progress includes having a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 and no outstanding "e" (incomplete) grades.

For the complete policy, please see the "Course Load / Eligibility for Course Overload" section of the most current University Catalog.

A course overload form requires permission from the course instructor and the student's academic advisors.
