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.
