WE ARE AWARE THIS FORM IS NOW INACTIVE DURING THE EXTENDED ADD/DROP PERIOD AND ARE WORKING TO REACTIVATE THE FORM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.  Please check back frequently during business hours.  Unfortunately this issue will not allow us to extend course registration past the current add/drop end date of January 5, 2026.

If you are not currently a College of Management student please complete the Credit Overload Request Form found on the Registrar’s Website. Non-CM students who complete the CM form below will not have their credit limit raised by CM and will not receive a decision or re-direct to the correct form.  Please proceed the the form below only if you are a College of Management student.

Credit overloads are normally only allowed for CM students whose overall GPA is at least 3.25, or whose most recent regular semester GPA is at least 3.5 with a credit load of 15 credits or more. Credit overload requests are not reviewed until all grades from the current semester are posted on Wiser and the cumulative GPA is updated accordingly. 

Since grades from the current fall or spring semester are required for this review, this form will be open January 2 through the last day of the spring semester add/drop period and June 1 through the last day of the fall semester add/drop period. If you are unsure which courses to registered for while you wait on a Credit Overload decision, please connect with your Academic Advisor. Please allow three business days for the process to be complete, once the review period begins.

If approved for a credit overload, your credit limit will be increased on Wiser but you will not receive a separate email confirmation other than the message you see at the point or submission. You will need to add yourself to your additional courses on Wiser once the limit is increased.  

RENAME your transcript and schedule files so that the filenames are firstname_lastname_transcript, firstname_lastname_schedule.

The deadline for this form has passed.
