Increase the Credit Maximum Petition

Students can request to have the maximum credit limit increased to 22, 23, or 24 by meeting with their advisor. In order to have the maximum credit limit raised to 25 or more, students need to submit a petition to the ARC.

This petition cannot be used for:

  • Increasing credits from 18 to 21. Please see the academic calendar for that date.
  • Increasing credits from 15 to 18 for students on probation. Please see Academic Advising for support.

If you are requesting an increase of the credit maximum for Summer term, you must provide all your CRNs in the petition (current courses and those you plan to add).  If you do not, your petition will be cancelled.

There are two parts to the petition: one for the student and one for the advisor.
