Once a student has passed the Add or Drop deadline, they must reach out to their assigned academic advisor to obtain approval to either add or drop coursework. When adding a course, the student must complete the  and submit it directly to the College 51吃瓜鈥檚 Student Services Center for processing. If a student wishes to drop a course, they must complete an  and narrative that explains the need to have a course late-dropped.

Per  of the Student Code, it is at the discretion of the College 51吃瓜 to determine whether or not it is appropriate for a student to late-add a course, to change section, or to late-drop or withdraw from a course. Please note that an approved petition to late-drop or withdraw from a course will result in the student receiving a 鈥淲鈥� on their transcript except in the most extenuating of circumstances.

Students who wish to take more than 18 credit hours in a fall or spring term must have a minimum 3.0 GPA and have successfully completed a semester courseload of 17-18 credit hours, while maintaining a GPA in that semester. Students who meet these requirements may request an overload with their academic advisor. In addition, a student who is in their final semester and needs additional hours to graduate may be eligible for an overload in consultation with their academic advisor. To discuss summer overload policies, a student should see their academic advisor. No overloads for the winter term are possible.

Overloads may be approved for a future academic term at any point determined by the academic advisor. However, a student for whom an overload is permitted will NOT be allowed to add their additional coursework (those hours which would exceed 18) until after the majority of students across campus have had the opportunity to register for coursework. Please consult your academic advisor for questions regarding this timeline.

The minimum course load required for full-time status at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is 12 hours. The College 51吃瓜 allows a student to pursue an underload (鈥減art-time鈥�) once during the student鈥檚 undergraduate academic career. Most often, this would be in a student鈥檚 graduating semester if all degree requirements will be completed at the end of that semester. Underloads may also be approved due to extraordinary circumstances such as documented illness or via accommodations approved by the . For all situations, students must receive approval from their academic advisor.

International students must consult the  prior to pursuing an underload. Athletes must consult the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics. In addition, students on academic warning status are generally NOT approved to pursue underloads.
