Final Semester Reduced CourseLoad Approval Request


Application for Approval for Final Semester Reduced Course Load (RCL)

When a student has fewer than 12 credits (undergraduate) or 9 credits (graduate) (final term only) to complete a degree they may apply for permission for a Reduced Course Load:  Approval will allow the student to be considered to be full time while taking fewer than 9 or 12 credits.  

Ability to extend student’s current program beyond this term is limited.  

If final courses do not take place "in-person", such as online courses, the student must depart the United States.   Please inquire about "hybrid courses" using the WISP request.
