Credit Overload

Credit loads above the limits listed will require a credit overload petition form.

Overload Petition for Undergraduate Students

You must obtain authorization from your academic advisor and other required authorities (specific to each college). Complete the Credit Overload Petition Form and indicate the specific number of credits in which you wish to be enrolled. Once you have secured the appropriate signatures, submit the approved form to the Office of the Registrar (SSC-A), or upload to the Rebel Success Hub where the courses will be manually enrolled.

 The form should also include the five-digit call number(s) of the additional course(s) to be added.

After completion, the petition must be reviewed and approved by Student Success (EXPLadvising@unlv.edu).
