Undergraduate students are allowed to enroll in up to 20 credits per semester; graduate students are allowed to enroll in up to 16 credits per semester. Students may seek permission from their academic dean to enroll in up to 22 credits by obtaining the dean's signature on the Change of Registration form and submitting it to the Registrar's Office.  Any enrollment over 22 credits requires a successful academic petition, managed through the dean's office. Overload fees may apply to any credits enrolled in over 20; see Student Accounts tuition and fees.

Changing to Audit requires the instructor permission. Add the class for regular credit, then obtain the instructor's signature on the Audit section of the Change of Registration form and submit to the Registrar's Office.

Changing a letter-graded class to pass/fail option requires advisor or major professor approval. Add the class normally and then obtain the advisor's signature on the Pass/Fail Option form and submit to the Registrar's Office.
