Taxpayers can compare eligibility and benefits of two education credits

There are two education credits that can help taxpayers with higher education costs: the American opportunity tax credit and the lifetime learning credit. There are several differences and some similarities between them. Taxpayers can claim both benefits on the same return, but not for the same student or same qualified expenses. Here’s a comparison of these two credits:

So is 30 credits the max during fall-winter? For LAPS right?

30 credits is a full course load for all faculties, 36 credits is the maximum that you can do during the F/W.

So since my faculty has an allowable course load of 33 credits, I have to file a petition to take 34 credits? Can you give me a link where I can petition please? Thanks

Yup basically, petition information can be found here.

When i try to add a 3 credit course to my current course load of 31 credits, it does not let me, and says that the allowable credits for this session are 33 but i remember you guys telling me its 36, sooo.. is that something new and how can i get permission or something to have 34 credits

It’s because your faculty or program has a 33 credit limit, but yes most faculties have a 36 credit limit.

Am I allowed to take more than 30 credits a year?

Yes, but most faculties limit it to 36 credits max. Any more and you have to petition it.

How do i get permission to take more than 33 credits? not too much more but I just have a four credit courses and the total credits will be 34? If I just explain my situation, Will they just give me permission? Or there has to be a more solid reason? Like an illness and wanting to catch up after the illness or something?

You don’t need permission, the maximum number of credits you can take without petitioning is 36.

Who grants permission to do 18 instead of 15 credits in the summer?

You’re allowed to do 18 credits without permission during the summer. If you want to do more than 18 credits, then you need to petition to ask for special permission.
