What happens if you exceed the maximum credits allowed at one time at TESU?

I would guess that they don't have an automated way to enforce the limit (or that it doesn't work). The simplest way would be to have the registration system refuse to let you register for that 17th credit, which it obviously didn't. You are definitely risking being dropped from courses without warning, although I doubt they would actually take credit away that was already earned successfully. It's hard to advise you to try to get away with it, but I think you're correct in thinking that if you ask, it could trigger an action that otherwise wouldn't occur. An advisor probably can't grant you an exception, so if you want to do this within the rules, you'd probably have to petition the dean.

I'm guessing you're in the comprehensive plan? If so, you're in danger of hitting the 36cr limit of the comprehensive plan before the year is out as well.
