Full-time students normally complete 18 units each semester or 36 units a year. In some circumstances you may enrol in more than 36 units – this is called an overload.
You will need to seek special approval for any overload of more than 22.5 units per semester. You will have to pay any fees and charges associated with the additional enrolment. You can lodge a request for overload approval via 'My Support' above.
