Academic Overload

An acceptable course load will vary depending upon the academic program and courses taken. Please contact your advisor to make an informed decision about a reasonable course load when working full or part-time or coordinating a busy schedule.

Students wishing to register for more than 18 credit hours in any semester must obtain prior approval from the Dean of the School in which the student’s program is included. In general, a student must have been at West Georgia Technical College for at least two semesters and have achieved an overall GPA of at least 2.5 before an overload will be approved.
