Credit Overload Process for Tuition

This resource provides information for staff on how to manage credit overload approvals for accurate Student Financial charges in MyBU Student.

Introduction

This information is meant for Schools/Colleges staff who need to manage the credit overload process to adjust tuition. To indicate approval has been granted to students, Service Indicators (SI) will be used. This process does not apply to approval for academic overload.

OVERLOAD WAIVER INDICATOR
A Service Indicator will be needed for graduate students and undergraduate first through third year students when they have been granted approval to exceed 18 credits. Undergraduate seniors and KHC students are automatically granted tuition overload approval for up to 20 credits. This automatic approval occurs through Student Financial functionality.

• Proper approval and a Service Indicator would be needed if they wish to exceed 20 credits.

CERTIFIED FULL OR PART TIME SERVICE INDICATORS
With this process, the student’s approved academic load will remain as full-time or part-time. Adding a Certified Full or Part Time Service indicator is used to manage charging for those students who are maintaining a full-time or part-time status, but their enrollment does not match their status. For charging to be accurate, Service Indicators impacting tuition as well as approved academic load need to be entered for the student.
