How many credits constitute an overload? Is there an extra charge for extra credits?
A schedule with 20 or more credits is an overload. Special permission is required, and first-semester freshmen are not eligible to carry an overload, although they may take as many as three credits above their standard four courses. There is no extra charge for credits earned over and above the standard 16 per semester unless they are used to accelerate the completion of the degree.
