Petition for credit limit and capstone

[magicbird42]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to finish my degree by August. I have 39 credits left and based off when classes are scheduled, I came up with a plan that would allow me to finish on time but I would be taking 6 classes during the month of January. I would also be taking my Career Planning class while doing Capstone and finishing one or two other classes during the first month of this. I submitted this plan to my academic adviser and he said I would have to petition to exceed 16 credits in a term and to do the Capstone and Career Planning simultaneously. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm not sure how to do the petition other than to submit the schedule I want to take and my reasoning for it. I'm currently doing three courses through TESU and finished two classes through Sophia.org during the same term and currently have all A's. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
