Permission to Take a Course Overload for

The reason I am making this request is that I have an opportunity to complete my undergraduate degree early - by the Summer Semester, 2005 - and by adding three courses this upcoming school year, I will accomplish that goal.

The specific courses I wish to take as course overload classes include: Course #1, Course #2, and.
