Before you begin...

If you your course has an approved prerequisite in the catalog then the prerequisite is enforced as part of the enrollment process.  This means that students that have not successfully passed the prerequisite courses, or are not currently enrolled in a prerequisite course, will not be able to register for your class without a Requisites Not Met override.

In order to allow a student into your class that does not meet the prerequisite for the into your course, be aware that by allowing them into your class you are not giving you must grant the student a prerequisite override.  You must permission AND select the appropriate check box (Prerequisite) that identifies the reason for the permission is to allow a student to override the prerequisite.

Success Factors

  • Communicate with the student with whom you are granting the permission to ensure they understand how to use the permission.
  • Ensure the student uses the permission within the registration period.
  • If the course is closed, or full, the permission will not work unless you have checked off the 'course closed' check box when granting the permission.  (Don't worry, if you forgot then you can always go back to check the box if necessary.)

    , which is Requisites Not Met.

    If your course is closed, and the student does not meet the prerequisite, then you must select both the Closed Class AND Requisites Not Met check boxes in order for the student to be able to enroll in the class.  If you do not select Closed Class when the class if full, then the student can add themselves to the wait list for the class. 

    Prior to the beginning of the fall and spring semesters, the Registrar's Office runs an audit process to identify students who are enrolled in courses for which they have not met the prerequisite.  This allows us to identify students who may have done poorly in, or withdrawn from, prerequisite courses after enrolling in a subsequent course.  Communication is sent to each student advising them to drop the course and work with their adviser to make alternate course selections.  Students who do not withdraw themselves are administratively dropped from the course. 

    If a Requisites Not Met override has been granted for a student, they are excluded from the audit and allowed to remain enrolled in the course.
