In accordance with state regulations (Title 5 - Section 55007), students are not allowed to enroll in two or more credit courses with overlapping meeting times. Students are encouraged to select another open section that does not have a time conflict.
When students cannot find another section to accommodate their schedule, they can complete the Course Overlap Petition.
Overlap in student’s schedule may be allowed if there is:
- rational justification for the overlap, and
- class time missed is made up in another section of the same class during the same week under appropriate supervision or by special, approved arrangements.
The overlap petition must be submitted before the last day to add the course and is subject to instructor approval.
