The University policy is that graduate students can enroll for a maximum of 15 credits. In general, CSD students will not be permitted to exceed that maximum, because any overload will often compromise the student’s academic or clinical success. In rare circumstances for which a credit overload is needed to accommodate unique scheduling needs, the student may request permission from their advisor and then file a petition for consideration through the Graduate School.

Request for Incomplete
Students who have exceptional circumstances that may necessitate an incomplete in a course should discuss with their academic advisor and course instructor. A Request for Incomplete should be filled out by the student and instructor and signed by the student, course instructor, and department chair. The instructor will enter the incomplete into the MySlice grade roster and both the student and instructor will receive an email verification. The course grade will appear on the transcript as IF (Incomplete F) until all requirements are completed (which must be by the date specified on the incomplete form), meaning that it will be calculated as an F in the GPA (0 points) until the incomplete is removed and changed to a final course grade by the instructor after requirements are complete. If the requirements are not completed by the date, the grade will automatically convert to an F.
