Many courses require specific prerequisites to be met and/or require permission from the department prior to enrollment.
If a student's attempted enrollment results in an error due to prerequisites or restrictions, students must contact their academic advisor or college advising office. Academic Advisors or the Departments are responsible for issuing permission numbers to students.
Important Notes:
A permission number will NOT override co-requisites, such as courses that require both a lecture and lab for which you wish to take one or the other or time conflict. These two items will need to be communicated to the Office of the University Registrar by advisor or instructor for manual enrollments on the student's behalf.
Permissions are BOTH course section and term specific. You must ensure the permission is issued for the exact course the student is registering for. Students will NOT be able to register for a different section of the same course. For example, if a permission is issued for ENGL-1160-003, the student will not be able to register for ENGL-1160-006.
A new number will need to be generated for the student via advisor or department contact. Permission numbers can only be used once.
Permissions not used before the end of the 100% refund period will be deleted. A new number will need to be generated for the student to enroll after the 100% refund period.
