How do I get a Credit Hour Overload?

During the fall and spring terms, you may register for a maximum of 18 credit hours. Any amount over this is called an "overload" and must be approved as described below. For summer, a course load of more than 12 credit hours is considered an overload throughout entire summer, and course load of more than 6 credit hours in shorter summer sessions is considered overload.

To petition for a credit hour overload in the College of Arts and Sciences you must be one of the following:

• An undergraduate who has officially declared a major in the College of Arts and Sciences
• An undergraduate who has not yet declared a major
• An undergraduate or graduate student-at-large

Approval for a course overload is granted under the following conditions:

• Have a cumulative GPA of 3.0
• Fill out Overload Request form available in the Dean’s Office (BBH 158)

You may not carry a course overload during the first semester of study at Northeastern.

Note: If not a major in the College of Arts and Sciences, see the other colleges to request a credit overload.
