Course overloads

Olin students may register for a maximum of 20 credits each semester. The maximum load of 20 credits does not include non-degree activities (e.g., passionate pursuits). In exceptional circumstances, students may petition the Committee on Student Academic Performance (COSAP) with the consent of their advisor for approval of a course overload. Additionally, COSAP may reduce the maximum credits allowed. This reflects Olin’s commitment to reasonable expectations and academic success. First-year, first-semester students are limited to taking a maximum of 18 credits. Requests for overloads may be sent to COSAP via the Registrar's Office, using registrar@olin.edu.
