An override is an electronic permission that allows a student to enroll in a class they might not otherwise be able to. Overrides are typically used to allow a student to: 

  • register in a closed course from the waitlist
  • register for a class that requires instructor or department consent
  • register for a class in which the student does not have the required prerequisites

If a class is closed, the student should place themselves on the waitlist. Waitlist order is determined by department policy. In the case of a course that requires instructor or department consent, a student should reach out directly to the instructor or department. If a student is interested in registering for a course which they do not have the prerequisite, they should contact the department for approval. 

Information on how to use an override may be found here.
