Multiple and Overlapping Enrollments

A student may not enroll in two or more sections of the same credit course during the same term unless the length of the course provides that the student is not enrolled in more than one section at any given time.

A student may not enroll in two or more courses where the meeting time for the courses overlap, unless:

  • The student provides a valid justification, other than scheduling convenience, of the need for an overlapping schedule.
  • The Vice President for Instruction and the instructor of record approve the schedule.
  • The student makes up the overlapping hours at some other time during the same week under the supervision of the instructor of the course.
  • The colleges maintain a record of the make-up time completed by the student.
