Course Override Information

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 most classes. The Office of the Registrar provides a blanket override for these populations.
    • EXCEPTION: Campus Restriction cannot be bypassed. 

Remember:

  • Override approvals are not guaranteed.
  • 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.
  • If you must send an email to request an override, always be sure to include your name, student ID#, your major, the specific course you are requesting the override for, and a brief justification for the request in your message.

    Closed Course Override Policy

    We recognize that certain courses are extremely popular in our college. We are constantly trying to meet demand for our courses. But, this sometimes still means that a class you wish to take fills up. To best utilize the systems available at KSU (waitlists), CSM has a "No closed class override" policy. We want all students to have an equal chance at getting into a class.
