<p>Since the scholarship now covers up to 20 credits a semester, how do you get approval for those extra credits? From your dept? From the registrar? From the dept of the extra class?</p>
<p>maybe kiki can help.</p>

<p>M2CK: My son’s girlfriend wants to sign up for an extra class, which, I believe, gives her 20 hours. She sent an e-mail a few days ago to Carolyn Rogers to ask what she needed to do. I’ll check and see if she got a reply.</p>
<p>Course overloads (over 18 credits in a semester) normally require approval from the dean of the student’s college. To get your scholarship updated to pay for the additional credits, I’ve been told to contact Lisa Hicks <a href=“mailto:lisa.hicks@ua.edu”>lisa.hicks@ua.edu</a> .</p>
<p>Just got this from Carolyn Rogers…</p>
<p>"You will need to speak with your academic advisor and may need an override to take more than 18 hours. "</p>
<p>Scholarships pay for up to 20 hours? Does the scholarship amount increase or are the recipients getting those extra hours gratis?</p>
<p>a while back i emailed the director of engineering scholarships said that the scholarships would only apply for 16 credits…it turned out that an overload for an incoming engineering student was >16 credits</p>
<p>well, if that is the case, then 2/3 of the overage should be covered by the university scholarship and you would be responsible for only 1/3 of the overage.</p>
<p>unless i am not thinking correctly.</p>
<p>^that makes sense</p>
<p>The increase to 20 credits for the university scholarship is very recent.</p>
<p>CoE may not even be aware of the change.</p>
