How to Grant or Deny Approval for Over 19 Credits

If you have Advisees who want to take more than 19 credits, you will use the form available in WebAdvisor to either (1) approve, (2) deny, or (3) refer the student to a dean for further discussion. 

View and approve requests for over 19 credits via WebAdvisor. Click “Review Students Over 19 Credits:”

This will take you to a screen that lets you view and respond to requests for over 19 credits:

Enter the number of credits you approve along with any notes.  Notes will be visible to the student (as well as their other advisers and class deans) in the “Notes” section of the student’s Student Planning record, so please edit your note with that in mind.

If you are not approving the student to take extra credits, please enter 19 in the Approved Credits box.  

If you and your advisee cannot reach agreement about the appropriate number of credits for them, you may click “See Dean,” to refer the student to a class dean for further consultation. The student and dean will be notified.
 

Next week, the Dean of Studies and Registrar’s Office will begin reviewing students who have not received permission to take over 19 credits from their adviser or class dean.  Students who do not drop the extra credits will be dropped from their last added courses until they are at or below 19 credits.
