The overload process now begins automatically. If your supervisor submits a labor status form for you that requires an overload, the form site will automatically send you an overload link to fill out. Please make sure you fill out the overload form to begin the process.

What to Keep in Mind

• Labor Overload forms are required for students that wish to work over 15 hours. For example, if a student has a 12-hour primary position and wants to work a 5-hour secondary position, they will need to apply for an overload.
• First-year freshman cannot apply for an overload.
• Overloads are only valid for the semester for which they are approved. In other words, if you were a approved for a Fall 2022 overload, it does not roll over to Spring 2023.
• If a student would like to increase their primary after being approved for an overload, they must apply for an overload again. For example, if a student is approved to work a 12-hour primary and a 5-hour secondary, the primary cannot be adjusted to 15 hours without the approval of a new overload form.
• Primary Supervisors hold the right to reject overload requests.

Guidelines for Approval:

• Sophomore, junior, or senior classification
• Meeting Labor Program requirements in the primary position
• Not on any form of probation
• Enrolled in less than 5 course credits with less than 8 preparations (fall and spring terms only)
• Have a 2.50 GPA, both cumulative and for the previous full term; the required 2.50 cumulative GPA may be waived if a 3.00 GPA is earned during the previous full term.

Requests for over 20 hours are subject to the following additional guidelines:

• Junior or senior classification
• 3.00 GPA in the major, overall, and for the previous term
• Submission of a letter outlining the reason for requesting more than 20 hours
• Approval of the Dean of Labor and the Student Admissions and Academic Standing Committee.
