Registration windows & credit caps

Maximum term credit load by programme and academic term. Above the cap, only an approved credit limit exception for that enrolment and course combination allows confirmation.
How this worksShow

caps are set per programme and term, and overloads are logged against one student, term, planned course combination and approver.

every number on this page is a value, not WOU policy. The approver role (Registry) is a demonstration assumption.

An approved overload never bypasses prerequisites, the registration window, finance holds or EMGS status.

Caps are deactivated, never deleted. Most specific active cap wins: programme + term, then programme, then term.

Students cannot change registrations outside the window. Confirmation after payment is not window-gated.

Window overrides (staff-assisted, window only)

No overrides recorded.

An override never lifts EMGS, holds, credit caps, prerequisites, clashes or payment checks. Revocations are recorded, never deleted.
