A student who wishes to register for more than 18 credit hours must secure the approval of their department chairperson/program coordinator, subject to the following restrictions:

• Students on academic probation are not permitted to register for more than 18 credits.
• Students in good standing with a GPA less than 3.00 may request permission to register for up to 21 credits.
