Course Override Information

Do you need to request an override into a course, but are not sure where to go? Below you will find our most up-to-date listing of override processes by academic college. 

• Non-Degree, Transient, and Auditing students DO NOT have to request overrides into classes. The Office of the Registrar provides a blanket override for these populations

Remember:

• Most departments will not grant overrides for closed courses.
• Each department may have different procedures or criteria for granting overrides.
• Once an override has been processed, it is your responsibility to register for the course.
