Undergraduate Overload Request

Undergraduate students requesting to enroll in more than 4.75 credits during the Fall or Spring term should submit this form. A maximum of 6.0 credits are permitted per term. Students may not overload during January and Summer terms. Students who enroll in greater than 4.75 credits in a semester will be charged the comprehensive tuition rate for all credits up to 4.75 and the part-time semester hour rate for all credits exceeding 4.75. See the Elmhurst University Undergraduate Tuition webpage for current tuition rates (link: https://www.elmhurst.edu/admission/financial-aid/tuition-fees/undergraduate/).

Eligibility Criteria:

  • Minimum 3.0 GPA (both total and EU cumulative) required. You can check your GPA via Self-Service by downloading an unofficial transcript.

  • Students are responsible for understanding the financial implications of overloading, including the tuition adjustment schedule for withdrawing. Please contact Student Financial Services if you have any questions.

  • Honors students who are eligible for a tuition waiver should still submit this form. Please consult with the Honors Program to confirm eligibility.
