Overloads
Remember students can take up to 19 hours without needing and overload. While the normal course load for students is still 14-18 hours, you are able to enroll in up to 19 hours. However, before you start enrolling in that many hours, I would urge you to ask yourself do I really need that extra course? Could I be spending time doing community service, volunteer work, research, etc., that I will not have time to do if I am taking 19 hours.
Continuing students may carry 20-21 hours, if they have a cumulative gpa of 3.20 or better. To register for 22 or 23 hours, a minimum of average of 3.50 is required. Any schedule of more than 19 hours require's dean's approval. Graduating seniors may be approved for overloads if they need such a schedule to graduate at the end of the semester in question.
If you meet the requirements to overload and you want to add a class now, you can email me your request. Please include how many hours you are requesting, the class that you want to add and why. I may be able to approve your request online.
Did you take Summer Classes off campus
If you have taken a summer class off-campus, make sure to request that an official transcript be sent to the Office of Undergraduate Studies. We cannot post any transfer credit until we receive a final official transcript. It should be sent to

UPCOMING CAMPUS EVENTS
Second Year Institute!
August 17-18
The institute is a dynamic two-day event for second year students designed to introduce students to the focus of the second year at Case - Exploration, Engagement and Creating a Personal Vision. This fun and interactive event provides students opportunities to connect with their peers around academic, leadership and social activities.
This year, we are pleased to welcome our new President, Barbara Snyder, as our Distinguished Speaker. We will also have breakout sessions presented by faculty and staff and an overnight camp experience at Camp Wanake in Beach City, OH. Upper-class students will also provide great insight to the experience through their role as Peer Facilitators.
Registration for the 2007 Second Year Institute is now available via our website. There is a $45 registration fee to help defer costs.
Students who live on campus for the academic year will be able to check into their fall assignment beginning on Thursday, August 16.
