Please see Dr. Kandice Rowe in EB 201D to submit an overload request. \u00a0Courses offered by the COEPD include courses with the following course designators: CI, CISP, EDF, and WELL. All requests are sent to the Director of the SCOPES who evaluates them in conjunction with the Chair.\u00a0 Priority for overloads is given to students majoring in the COEPD and students who need the course as a requirement to graduate in that semester or stay on track for their intended graduation date.\u00a0 Overloads are not guaranteed and depend on classroom capacity, course demand, and the student\u2019s curriculum requirements.\u00a0 For courses that are offered on the Huntington campus, overloads are not given until all of the sections of that course are closed.\u00a0 The Director of Student Services may maintain a waitlist for the course, but students are encouraged to register for an alternative course option if an overload cannot be granted.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Us<\/h2>\n<div
