OVERLOAD REQUEST FORM

Office of the Registrar

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

The normal load during one term is 3 credits. The regular maximum load is 3-1/2 credits, or 3 credits for students on unsatisfactory status. Permission to enroll for more credit must be obtained from the Associate Dean of the College; Faculty Regulation C.4.5 specifies an absolute maximum of 4 credits. Permission is usually granted to students having strong academic records and well-reasoned programs of study, and is seldom given without these conditions. The overload fee will be charged to all students enrolled for more than 3-1/2 credits. For 2012-13 the overload fee is $2010 for one-half credit, per term. If the overload is approved, it will appear on the schedule the student receives from the Office of the Registrar following the end of the enrollment period. If permission is denied, you will receive special notification.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Fill out the Student Section of the form.

2. E-mail the form to your academic advisor for signature. Ask your advisor to e-mail the form to the Associate Dean of the College for signature.

3. The Associate Dean should e-mail the completed and signed form to the Office of the Registrar at registrar@knox.edu.
