Waivers of credit overload fees: for courses not automatically exempted (above) may be requested by students via the following process:
Step 1: The student will submit a written request for a waiver to the appropriate Dean of School listing the course that will cause the overload and that briefly describes why they must overload to meet the curricular requirements of their degree, including what prohibits them from taking the course in another semester.
Step 2: The waiver request will then be reviewed by the appropriate Dean of School. If the Dean of School supports the waiver, it is forwarded to the Vice President of Finance and Treasurer for approval. The Vice President for Finance and Treasurer will inform the student and appropriate Dean, in writing, of the final determination of the overload waiver request.
Note: Overload fee waivers for 3 and 4-credit courses will not normally be granted.
Appeal Process:
Students whose request for a waiver is not supported by the Dean of School may appeal that decision to the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs. In this case, if the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs supports the waiver, it is submitted to the Vice President of Finance and Treasurer for approval. The Vice President for Finance and Treasurer will inform the student and appropriate Dean, in writing, of the final determination of the overload waiver request.
