A full-time semester is defined as 12-18 hours, or 6-7 hours in a five-week summer term. Anything above this is considered an overload.
An undergraduate student may be granted approval from his/her Dean’s Office to take an overload if the following GPA requirements are met.
| UG Credit Overload (per semester) | Minimum Cumulative GPA | |
| Fall/Spring | 19 credits | 2.5 cGPA |
| 20 credits | 3.0 cGPA | |
| Summer | 8 credits | 2.5 cGPA |
| 9 credits | 3.0 cGPA |
Note: The associate dean must approve any exceptions.
