| UG Credit Overload (per term) | Cumulative GPA | |
| Fall/Spring | 19 semester hours 20 semester hours | 2.5 3.0 |
| Summer | 8 semester hours 9 semester hours | 2.5 3.0 |
Process to Request an Overload

| Click the Student Tab, Registration link, and then Request Overload link |
| Select the term which overload is needed and complete the form, then press Submit |
**Any exceptions must be approved by the associate dean
