Many courses carry prerequisites and other enrollment requirements (for example, “instructor approval,” “enrollment limited to majors,” “seniors only,” or “honor students”, etc.). These requirements are listed with each course in Course Explorer and Student Self-Service registration details so please read that information carefully to best understand the restrictions on each section of a course and possible plans for release of seats.
You are expected to comply with these prerequisites and enrollment requirements. Failure to do so may result in you being removed from the course. Restrictions are system controlled. Only the teaching department of the course can approve an override of a registration restriction. Refer to the Override Contact table below to find the best way to request a registration override for a specific subject. If the department office grants you override permission and enters that override on your student record, you will be able to register for the approved course/section via Student Self-Service.
You can search for subjects by entering the subject code or department description.
