Summer Session credit overload
Summer Session classes are rigorous. Credit overload is not recommended.
The maximum credits allowed for summer are:
- Mini Session: 4 credit limit
- First Session: 7 credit limit
- Second Session: 7 credit limit
- Regular Session/combined summer: 18 credit limit
When estimating course workload and considering overload credits, please remember:
- Three (3) credits in the Mini Session equals 15 credits in fall/spring, therefore enrolling in six (6) credits in the mini session is the equivalent workload of 30 credits in fall/spring.
- Six (6) credits in the First/Second Session equals 18 credits in the fall/spring, therefore enrolling in nine (9) credits in the First/Second Session is the equivalent workload of 27 credits in the fall/spring.
Credit overload during Summer Session is not recommended. Please discuss credit overload with an Academic Advisor. If the Academic Advisor supports the request to enroll in overload credits, the Academic Advisor will initiate the approval paperwork. Students cannot use overload enrollment as an excuse for turning in late assignments or for grade appeals. An exception to the policy for all withdrawal/refund requests will not be granted due to a credit overload enrollment and the resulting heavy, overwhelming or demanding workload.
