If your cumulative UNLV GPA is a 3.0 or higher, you will be automatically approved. If your GPA is below a 3.0, you will need to submit a petition to request permission to overload. Overload requests and petitions should be submitted directly to the Education Student Services Center.
If your GPA is below 2.75, you will have the opportunity to meet with an advisor one time to review the program requirements, develop a graduation goal sheet, and discuss a plan to raise your GPA. Once your GPA has reached at least a 2.75, you may come back for additional advising and officially change your major.
Fall and Spring Semesters. Freshmen may take a maximum of 17 credits per semester. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors may take a maximum of 18 credits per semester. Summer Term. Summer term maximum credits are: Summer Session I allows a maximum of 4 credits. Summer Session II allows 7 credits.
Students are strongly encouraged to repeat any grades below "C". A student may repeat any UNLV course once at UNLV and not have the original grade computed in their GPA, though both grades will still show on your transcript. Courses that are initially taken at UNLV must be repeated at UNLV in order to have the initial grade omitted from their GPA. (When a repeat course is completed more than once, only the original grade is omitted from the GPA). If you retake classes at a different institution, that retake may still be applied to your program requirements, however, only your initial grade at UNLV will count toward your GPA.
