145 Credit Limit Waiver

If your degree requires more than 145 credit hours* you may be able to extend your benefits by completing a 145 Credit Limit Waiver and returning it to your school’s registrar office for consideration.

* The Kalamazoo Promise will not cover additional credits due to dropped or failed classes or those required for a minor or a second major. The Promise counts all credits for which they have paid toward the 145 credit limit.
