Permission Numbers

How Permission Numbers Work

Class Permission Numbers allow students to register for courses for which they do not meet all of the enrollment conditions.  
Permission Numbers override the following:

  • class enrollment capacity,
  • class requisites,
  • instructor approval,
  • reserve capacity (seats reserved for first time students),
  • wait list position.

Permission Numbers do not override the following:

  • the deadline to add a class,
  • time conflicts,
  • student's enrollment unit cap,
  • holds preventing registration,
  • allowable number of class repeats
