BELOIT COLLEGE COURSE OVERLOAD PETITION
This form is to be completed when a student wishes to request an exception to the course overload policy:
…On or after registration day, students wishing to elect units in excess of 4.75 may do so with the written authorization of
both the major advisor and the Registrar. Such approval requires that the student have a minimum grade point average
of 3.200 and no incompletes, and shall be made only after evaluating the student's academic progress and the
reasonableness of his or her program. No student may register for more than 5.50 units in either the fall or the spring
term. Students seeking an exception to this policy may petition the Academic Performance Committee.
The student completes the first section, then submits the form to his or her advisor. The advisor completes the second section and submits
the form to the Academic Performance Committee for review. Both the student and advisor are encouraged to attach additional
documentation, if necessary, to explain the request. The Committee will notify the student and advisor of its decision.
