#45 Overloading On Degrees
While I was at university, I figured out I could weasel an extra degree by overloading more than once a semester.
Typically, you took five credits each semester, and if you were in good standing, you could take an extra one. Making a total of six classes, or 12 credits per year.
I figured, by trial and error that if one dean overloaded. For example, the Dean of Science gave me permission to overload. I could go to the Dean of Socials to overload again. The computers never picked it up.
So for three years, I overloaded, collecting up to 9 credits each semester. By the time I finished my fourth year I had a stand-alone BA. On top of another HBA and BSc.
The uni tried to demand I pay, but nothing in the course calendar or rules said what I had done was wrong.
They changed the rules the following year.
