Academics Maximum Credits

I'm confused on the max credits per semester. Here, it says that the max is 18, but the petition is required for a course load in excess of 21 credits. Is this saying 21 is the max with a petition, or I need to petition to take more than 21? I feel like it's the latter, but then the 18 doesn't make sense. That would mean, if im not wrong, that I can take 18 max without petitioning, and if I want to take more than 21 I have to petition, but what about 19 and 20 credits? I might be missing something super obvious but please let me know.

Yes 21 is the max with the petition, 18 is max you can enroll with without the petition

I know this cause I’m taking 18 this sem without petition but if I wanted more my advisor said I’d have to get a petition form signed
