Request to Take Six Classes
A meeting with a class advisor in Academic Services is required to petition for an academic overload. Please type and
print this form before meeting with a class advisor. Requests for enrolling in a sixth class are reviewed by Academic
Services and the Registrar’s Office. Please make an appointment with an advisor by calling 781-736-3470 or by visiting
Academic Services, 2nd floor Usdan Student Center. Same-day appointments are also available Monday-Friday from
1-5pm. The last day to add a class for the fall 2014 semester is September 11, 2014.
Students in their sophomore, junior, or senior year may request to take six classes, or a maximum of 26 credits.
Requests for enrolling in a sixth class are typically granted when a student has a cumulative grade point average of 3.5
with no grades below a B in the preceding semester. Students who have cumulative grade point averages of 3.00-3.49
are considered on a case-by-case basis. It is generally expected that a student will have successfully completed at least
one semester with five full credit-bearing classes, prior to requesting to enroll in six classes.
Starting fall 2013, students enrolled in more than 23 credits will be assessed an additional tuition charge per credit:
$1,387 for students who first entered after spring 2012 or $1,375 for students who first entered prior to summer 2012.
Your approval and enrollment in any overload course implies agreement to pay the appropriate additional tuition.
All required registration forms for the class must accompany the request: special registration forms (e.g., a 98Independent Study); consent of the instructor if required, or time-conflict forms.
Please type and then print this form before meeting with a class advisor.
