How do I overload my unit enrolment in a study period?

Overloading refers to enrolling in more than the standard study load for any given study period. For example, undertaking 125 credits (five 25-credit units) within a semester instead of the standard 100 credits (four 25-credit units).
Overload requests are subject to the final approval of the course coordinator but in general, applicants:
- must have a high course weighted average
- must have passed all their units in the previous study period
- cannot have any outstanding or unfinalised unit results
- must already be enrolled full time for the study period in which the application is for.
To apply to overload, you will need to submit your request through Curtin's online web form. In your application, be sure to include the study period you are wanting to overload in, the unit details (unit code and title), and provide the reasoning for your request.
All applications to overload are assessed on a case-by-case basis, and must be submitted by the Friday prior to the study period start date.
