Credit Limit Override – Fall 2025
Credit Limit Override – Fall 2025
If you are interested in taking more than the standard 9 credits during the Fall 2025 semester, please review the following guidelines carefully. This process is optional and intended for students who wish to accelerate their time to degree completion.
Eligibility Requirements:
Only full-time students who would otherwise be taking 9 credits are eligible to apply.
The maximum number of credits allowed with an override is 12.
To be eligible, students must have completed at least one semester and have a cumulative GPA of 3.4 or higher.
Submission Window:
The Credit Limit Override request form will be available from May 30th to September 2, 2025 at 12:00pm (two weeks before the semester begins).
No late submissions will be accepted.
The department will begin reviewing requests on a rolling basis starting August 19. You will be notified of a decision beginning on this date.
Students taking summer classes should note that requests will not be reviewed until after final grades are posted.
Please allow time for processing; approvals are not guaranteed.
Important Notes:
Students should register for 9 credits during the regular registration period in April.
If your override request is approved, you may then add a fourth course (up to 12 credits), depending on course availability.
You may only register for courses that are listed as OPEN in Albert at the time of registration.
Final decisions are made by the Department of Technology Management and Innovation and the Office of Graduate Academics.
Graduation & Visa Implications:
This process is meant to support students who plan to graduate early (in three semesters instead of four).
Once you complete your degree requirements, you must apply for graduation.
You may not extend your program into a fourth semester after completing your degree, even if your I-20 remains valid.
International students: Please check with the Office of Global Services (OGS) before pursuing early graduation to ensure there are no impacts on your visa status.
Reminder: The department encourages students to take 9 credits per semester unless there is a compelling academic reason to accelerate.
