Form - Request for Credit Limit Increase - Engineering Academic Services

Balancing a full course load is challenging, so a credit increase is not usually recommended, particularly if you work or have other responsibilities.

If you choose to take a credit increase, you are not eligible for academic concession for issues related to the increased workload.

Considerations and Eligibility
- Credit limit increase eligibility will be based on academic performance, academic load balance, and reason for taking extra credits in a session.
- Credit increases are only permitted after general course registration closes and all students have had a chance to register.
- Credit increases are not granted to accommodate waitlists.
- 1-credit increases will generally be approved for students in good standing. For any increases of more than 1 credit, an academic advising meeting will be required before approval can be given.
- Summer courses are much more rigorous in structure due to term length. For this reason, it is not recommended students take more than 4 courses per summer session. If you are requesting to increase summer credit limit to take more than 4 courses, an academic advising meeting will be required before approval can be given.
