How do you take overload credits??
I tried to take more than 30 credit units on SOLAR but it wouldn't let me, saying maximum allowable is 30. Does mac have a new policy regarding overloading or do you have to get permission to do it?

In total what is the maximum for overloading?

I want to take 6 courses in Fall and another 6 in Winter (36 credit units)

Also wondering if it's possible to overload in summer. As far as I know the standard is 2 courses per summer term. Would I be able to take 3 courses each summer term (so 6 courses for both summer terms)??? What's the maximum you could overload?

I believe you can overload during the year as well as the summer. You just have to contact your faculty and get permission first.

It also requires a 7.0 CA.

Are they strict about that and is it for all faculties?

I believe they are, I know it's for the science faculty I don't know about others.
