Got a reply saying as long as it doesn't change graduation it's fine! So that's cool. But I suggest anyone else in the same position still asks! (Mostly grad students who pay by credit that is.)

While taking so many extra classes kind of sucks.... being able to take what you want a bit sounds very nice.

If I took 1 extra semester, I could dual major with dual bachelors. They did not want to sign on that, but if my semesters get messed up because of conflicts of schedule, I may take the classes to make it happen!

It won't slow down my learning, which is good! I actually end up with three extra classes in order to maintain full time every semester. I'll reach out to them via a quick email to make sure since they're already mad at me for accidentally not being full time last semester!! (I was told 6 credits was full time but according to my transcript it was 8..oops lol)

Has any graduate student taken a class just because? It's an engineering communications class that can't be counted towards my degree but I think it something I'd benefit from taking. Will SMART still cover it?
