university policies.

earned in excess of 16 credit hours are billed at the supplemental tuition rate and require permission from the Associate
Provost (see Overload Credits in Catalog).
Summer Internships: the summer session is a distinct term, separate from the fall and spring semesters. All credits earned
for this period are billed at the summer school rate and will include a comprehensive fee. Undergraduate students will be
billed for credits registered. Graduate students and Continuing Education students must submit their registration online
in addition to submitting the Learning Agreement.
