Why do I need to see an adviser in CCAS for an underload, or for an overload if my GPA is under 3.0?
Faculty policy requires students to obtain the Dean’s approval to carry an overload or an underload, and students request this by seeing the Dean’s delegates in CCAS. The adviser will want to be sure that you are aware of the possible consequences of an underload, and that you know what options are available to you. Students who are not seniors who want to overload although they did not earn a 3.0 in the previous semester, or have unfinished courses, should benefit from a discussion about the meaning behind the faculty’s policy, options available, and the possibilities of petitioning the Administrative Committee for special permission.
