Permissions are used to allow students to register for a course from which they have been blocked because either the course is closed or there are specific restrictions on the course. Some or all of the spaces in a course may be restricted to students in certain years of studies, courses, colleges, campuses, majors, minors, or programs.
Other courses always require special permission for enrollment. Consult the Time Schedule of Classes . Restrictions and requirements are indicated in the Comments/Notes field of the class listing.
Permission is always required for students in the following circumstances: graduates who wish to register for undergraduate level courses, undergraduates who wish to register for graduate level courses, or part-time undergraduates who wish to take more than 11 credits in one semester.
Circumstances Requiring Permission
Closed Courses
Students seeking permission to enroll in a closed Uxxx section must e-mail the instructor indicating name and SU ID. If the request for permission is granted, the instructor will authorize the College of Professional Studies program director to enter permission on MySlice. The student will then be notified to register for the class.
Audit and Pass/Fail Grading Options
An Elect/Rescind Grading Option Application is required if you want to take a credit course for Audit or Pass/Fail. You cannot audit courses which require a Proposal for Independent Study, for experience credit or studio art courses. Certain courses cannot be graded pass/fail and graduate students cannot take courses for pass/fail. You must obtain the appropriate signature on the Elect/Rescind Grading Option Application. Submit the form to the College of Professional Studies Bursar and Registration Operations by the Elect/Rescind Grading Option deadline of the semester in which you are enrolling.
Students may also change enrollment in a course from an audit/pass-fail to a letter grade basis through the Elect/Rescind Grading Option deadline for the course. You must submit an Elect/Rescind Grading Option Application form with the appropriate signature, by the Elect/Rescind Grading Option deadline, rescinding the audit or pass/fail option. There is no exception to this deadline. Petitions to extend this deadline will not be accepted.
