Petition to Exceed Summer Credit Limit PDF

Students may register for between 9 and 10 credits (between 9 and 12 credits for a full-time residency) in the summer semester with advance permission from the Vice Dean, Academic and Faculty Affairs. No student may register for more than 10 credits in the summer unless the student is doing a full-time summer residency. A student doing a full-time summer residency may register for up to 12 credits for the residency with the advance permission of both the Externship Director and the Vice Dean, though the final decision rests with the Vice Dean. An approved course petition does not guarantee a seat in a summer course. You must still register online prior to May 15 or submit a registration form after May 15.

Petition to Exceed 15 Credit Limit PDF Use this form to request to exceed the 15 credit limit in fall or spring. Please note, in no event, may students register for more than 17 credits in fall or spring.
