Course Overload

Students in all programs may schedule up to twelve (12) hours of course credit per full term semester and up to nine (9) hours of course credit per short term semester without special permission. Students are not allowed to exceed fifteen (15) cumulative course credit hours per semester. A student who wishes to register for a course load exceeding the maximum permitted load must submit a written overload request to the program director for approval by the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies. A student must have been at Clayton State University for at least one semester and have achieved an overall B (GPA 3.0) average before an overload request will be considered, although the Graduate Dean may make exceptions in special circumstances.
