A course time conflict is a partial overlap of two synchronous academic courses. Synchronous courses refer to classes that meet at a specific day and time. If the overlap is less than half of the scheduled time of either course, the student may submit a course time conflict form. Both instructors must approve of the arrangement described on the form. Both courses must be required by the student's major and/or minor or for the Pietas Honors Program, with the exception of music ensembles and performance groups. The form needs to be returned to the Registrar's Office by the add/drop date for the term.

If the time conflict is greater than 50% for either course, students must pursue a Directed Study for one of the conflicting courses.
