Granting Permissions

Classes that are scheduled to ensure all students receive permission prior to enrolling into the class are considered permission only classes.  To grant a student permission to a class that is permission only, you must identify which student will be given permission to enroll in the class.

Instructor-led training (ILT) is offered at the beginning of each term and on a requested basis throughout the year.  The ILT is typically offered as a comprehensive lunch & learn demonstration, and outlines the steps required to grant both permissions and exceptions for students.  To inquire about scheduling an upcoming Permissions lunch & learn, contact Susan Dawson at sdawson@umbc.edu.

Best Practices

Below are a few suggested best practices.

• If you do not know the student's Campus ID, use the Lookup feature in the Faculty Center.  
• Click the save button after adding each student.  Student's cannot register for the class until their name has been added to the permission list AND the list has been saved.
• Ensure you are working on the appropriate section of the class.  Use the navigation arrows to scroll between sections.
