2025 Credit Overload Requests
WINTER AND SPRING 2025 REQUESTS: FORM OPENS MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2024
A credit overload request is required to be considered for credits that exceed the maximum credit amount per session.
The maximum number of credits allowed for the Winter Term is 4 credits per session. The maximum number of credits allowed for the Spring semester is 17.5 credits. A credit overload request should be submitted if you plan to take credits beyond these amounts.
In most cases, no more than 7 credits will be approved for a winter term and no more than 21 credits will be approved for the spring semester.
To be considered, students should satisfy the following specific criteria:
- Have a cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 3.00 or higher at Hunter College.
- Have demonstrated the ability to complete 15 credits or more successfully in prior semesters at Hunter College, with a GPA of 3.00 or higher and without receiving grades of F, W, WU, CR or NC.
- Have no pending grades of Incomplete (INC) or Z.
The desire to graduate earlier than planned is not a substitute for the above criteria.
Note: Your winter and/or spring registrations will be reviewed and considered for final decision.
