The overload petition process is now fully online and can be found via this link: https://grad.apply.colorado.edu/register/GSfundingadmingeneralform 
(Select Overload Petition from the drop-down)

1. As a first step, there's a signature page that needs to be signed by the student, the Academic Advisor, and CIRES HR: https://www.colorado.edu/graduateschool/sites/default/files/attached-files/graduate_student_overload_petition_signatures.pdf  
   • Once the student employee and their academic advisor sign, they can send it to CIRES HR, and we’ll sign and send it back.
   • Once it’s signed, the student employee must complete the overload petition online and upload the fully signed form.
      
2. After everything is submitted, the Grad School will reach out directly to the student employee to let them know they've reviewed it and whether it's approved – please forward their approval to CIRES HR at that time.
