Petition forms are available in the One Stop Center. The form should be completed and signed by the student and approved by the student’s advisor and the Associate Vice President of Instruction. Upon approval, students should present their overload form to the One Stop Center for processing. Overload petitions will not be granted to first-time college students except under extenuating circumstances.
