Course Registration

Students pursuing the Technology & Management minor may sometimes require a credit hour override in order to stay on track for graduation especially for business students with double majors or engineering majors with tight semesterly course planning. Below are links for override requests for both the Grainger College of Engineering and Gies College of Business.

Tips for students to keep in mind:
1. Plan Early: Review your degree audit and minor requirements early in your T&M journey, preferably before your start courses, in order to anticipate and plan for potential overloads in future semesters.
2. Consult an Advisor: Meet with your academic advisor or minor coordinator to discuss your plan and confirm the necessity of an override.
3. Show Readiness: Demonstrate academic readiness (such as a strong GPA or prior success with heavy course loads) to strengthen your request.
4. Follow Up: Keep track of the overload request and follow up with your advisor or the registrar if you don't receive a timely response.

When pursuing the T&M minor alongside a primary major within Grainger Engineering or Gies Business, there are possibilities for scheduling conflicts occuring often throughout your T&M journey. This could include required classes that overlap in time which make it difficult to complete both on time before graduation. Attached below are the procedures for class conflicts for both colleges.

Tips for students to keep in mind:
1. Audit Your Schedule: Use your degree audit tools and course planning resources to map out both major and minor requirements for the upcoming semesters. Additionally, watch for required courses that are only offered in specific semesters and have a similar time pattern as seen in past semesters in order to plan ahead of a conflict that may arise.
2. Work with Advisors: As advised in the links above, meet with both your major advisor and T&M advisor to discuss the conflict and whether there is a possibility to take both courses in the same semester if it proves complications for your graduation date.
3. Consider Summer/Winter Options: Taking a course during an off-term can free up your regular semester schedule and help resolve conflicts.
4. Explore Substitutions: Some minors may allow course substitutions or elective flexibility. Ask if there's an equivalent course that fits better with your schedule.
5. Petition if Needed: If no alternatives exist, you may be able to file a petition for an exception, especially if the conflict has no choice but to delay your graduation further.
