• The Course Overload Petition (available on the Office of the University Registrar Forms Page (http://registrar.wvu.edu/forms) is to be used when a student requests permission to enroll for more than 17 hours in the fall or spring semesters. No overload requests will be considered for the summer term. Although students may enroll for up to 17 hours in the summer, they are strongly discouraged from enrolling in more than 12 hours.
