If 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 that does not meet the prerequisite into your course, you must grant the student a permission AND select the appropriate check box, which is Requisites Not Met.
(add screen capture)
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 will be added to the wait list for the class.
Implications for granting prerequisite overrides
Prerequisite Audit Process
We will run an audit at the end of a term. If a student did not meet the prerequisite for a course, the student will be automatically withdrawn from the class.
There are different reasons to grant a student permission to take your class. You must select the checkbox related to the reason for the permission for each student that you add to your permission list. The reasons include:
Reason Checkbox
