Submitting an override request:

1. Please only submit one override request per course. Submitting more than one request for the same course can cause challenges that can affect your initial request

2. Once you have submitted your request, please wait for an email response. Your request will be addressed in the ordered received, and response will be sent in a timely manner

Important information to know:

• Submission of an override request does not guarantee that the request will be granted

• All requests will be reviewed, and students will receive a response typically within 1-2 weeks of submitting the request

• Faculty and Professors do NOT grant overrides

• The ComArtSci College enforces all prerequisites and restrictions

• We do not offer overrides into full courses - the fastest way to get into a full course is to sign up for schedule builder seat alerts and respond immediately to any openings

• We have set the maximum enrollment in our courses to the number of students the instructor can reasonably accommodate without compromising student learning, response time, and quality.

• Students who are graduating that semester and the course is required by their BA/BS degree program can reach out to their academic advisor to discuss the possibility of an override for a full course
