How do I overload in a semester?

Overloading refers to undertaking 125 credits (5 units) within a semester instead of the standard 100 credits (4 units). 

To apply to overload, you will need to submit your request online through Curtin's online web form. In your request include the study period you are wanting to overload in, the unit details and your reason behind the request as these are assessed on a case by case basis.

If your final results for the current semester have not been released, then you must wait for all of your final results to be available before applying for an overload for the next study period.

While all applications are subject to the final approval of the Head of School, as a general guide, students wishing to overload must have a high course weighted average and have passed all their units in the previous semester.
