OVERRIDES

If a course is closed, students should check whether there are any other sections of the same course that have spaces available in them and register for an alternate section. If this option is not available, a student may consider alternate courses and register accordingly. Faculty advisors are good resources to help determine an appropriate alternate. In some cases, it may be appropriate for the department chair approve an “override” allowing a student to register beyond the course limit. Override registrations are completed by the student using the appropriate the Override Request Form.  Completing an override request does not guarantee that a student will be able to take a course. The override from should not be completed until after a student has tried to register for courses and has not been able to get into the course. Access to complete the Override Request Form will not be available to students until their cohort’s registration day.
