Course Permit

Information for Students:

• Contact the department for any change requests that cannot be done through Web Registration. The Course Permit form is ONLY available to students from the first day of the semester until the Registration Change deadline (ie. the last day to change registration or withdraw from courses).

Information for Students:

• Students submit a Course Permit form in Webreg to request changes to their semester schedule that require permission or that cannot otherwise be completed on their own through Web Registration.
• Course Permit forms time stamped after 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the Free Drop/Add period will be treated as late and incur fees as listed below. It is preferable, however, to submit the form before 5 p.m, as support staff are then available.
• For course drops, credit hours and grade option changes, students should use UDSIS (the Registration & Drop/Add link under Enrollment).
• You receive an email when the form has been processed. If the request is denied, the email states the form was CANCELLED and contains a link to view comments. If the request is approved, the email states COPY, with a link to the completed request. If you have not received a response within 2 business days, please follow up with the department offering the course. Check your Web Forms Out Basket to see the form status. When complete, the form is stored in your Web Forms Archive.
• HOLDS: Students with a hold on their academic record affecting enrollment may NOT process a form. An error message will appear directing them to their Student Center Holds section for an explanation.

Information for Departmental Contact:

• Departmental contacts are notified by email of course permit ADD requests requiring processing. Forms should be processed daily.
  NOTE: If the request is for an Honors section, the Honors department serves as the department that receives and processes the form.
• When routing to the Instructor, if he/she does not process the form within 1-2 days, please remind them that students are waiting for a response.
• Departmental contacts first verify the section enrollment capacity.
• Approvals:
  • Approve the form by specifying approve in the Approver's Action section.
  • Alternately, Departmental staff can add the Instructor as an approver:
    • In the Routing and Authorization section, in the Role column, choose: Approver in the dropdown box and add the Instructor's email address in the box.
    • In the Approver's Action section, choose: add approver and return to me.
    • The form will route to the Instructor and then be returned to the department.
    • Departmental staff should monitor all requests sent to Instructors to ensure timely processing.
  • After departmental and/or Instructor approval, the form is processed by the department.
  • Copies are automatically sent to the applicable parties. This signals the completion of the request.
• Rejections:
  • Departments or Instructors can reject a student request by selecting return to originator and cancel form.
