Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Undergraduate Students

• A minimum of 12 hours is considered full time for all terms, including summer.
• Courses cannot be added to or deleted from a student's schedule after the last day of registration.
  In addition, the number of hours for which a student is registered, or the grading basis cannot be changed after the last day of registration.
• Students are responsible for all changes to their schedule. Only the student has access to add/delete or change a class on their schedule. Academic departments and administrative offices do not have access to student schedules.
• Once a department has issued a permit or overload, it is the students responsibility to register for the course. Academic departments can only grant permission, they can not add courses to student schedules.
• An undergraduate student may take a graduate level course with the permission of the department teaching the course, a minimum GPA of 2.7, and be classified as a senior. The student must have the department of instruction enter a permit on their account, and then the student should contact the Registrar’s Office to request a LEVEL permit. The Registrar’s Office can be contacted at comments@registrar.gatech.edu, or in room 104 of the Tech Tower. The email should include the student’s full name, gtID#, and the course and CRN for which they are trying to register. Once the Registrar’s Office has issued the LEVEL permit, they will instruct the student to register for the course. For information about using the credit toward a degree please, see the Graduate Course Option section of the catalog.
• The maximum number of hours for which an undergraduate student may register for a term is determined by their academic standing.
• Each student should print and keep a copy of their schedule.
