Overloading Credit points?? (1 Viewer)

[Princeps_]

Is it possible to overload credit points, and if so how likely is it they will let you, in my case its only 1 credit point over.

BTW when do we start uni???

They're unlikely to let you if you failed a subject.
25th of July for you if you're doing maths this semester. If not - 26th.

Search the forum for "overload" - you'll get heaps of results. Generally you'd want at least a distinction WAM to overload. Also check with your school/faculty. Some let you overload 3uoc without question, while others don't allow overloading altogether.

Just out of interest, how do you manage to overload just 1 credit point over??

You can overload a maxmimum of 6 CP per year (without permission from the Dean), I believe, so I doubt 1CP would be much problem.

Where did that come from?

Commerce, you can't overload at all over 24CP without permission

There are ways around this if you are doing a combined degree - overload through the other degree. eg Science are very flexible

I got told by someone in the science faculty today that I can't overload and do gened if I was a first year student, is this correct? Doesn't seem very flexible to me.

Yes I went to the science student office and asked and they said that first years arent allowed to overload.

But I'm pretty sure you can do gened cos im doing one now..

And the news is here.. I am now doing 30UOC. It seems the commerce faculty couldn't say no, thanks to the letter with the official letterhead and a nice transcript

Thats good! You can give me advice next session when I overload.

This is true, I am doing this session in fact. Note that you cannot overload if you violate the University policy on overloading (which regards failing a certain number of courses in a previous session).
