Credit Overload / Change Enrollment Limit

Graduate Program Directors and Graduate Program Administrators have access to change a student's enrollment limit in SPIRE.

A graduate student may register for up to 16 credits each fall and spring semester, 9 credits during the summer session, and 8 credits during the six-week winter session.  Any student who wishes to register for more than 16 credits in a fall or spring semester must secure the endorsement of the Graduate Program Director in their major department.

Circumstances that warrant a change in a student's enrollment limit:

• The program curriculum requires a student to enroll in more than 16 credits during a fall or spring semester.
• All other exceptions should be endorsed by the Graduate Program Director or Department Head.
