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. 

Remember:

• Override approvals are not guranteed. 
• 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.

  Course override is the process of receiving prior approval from the department to register for a specific course. Please note: you will need to register for the course through your Owl Express once the override is approved.

  Course overrides are used in situations such as:

  • A registration error was received and you met the course prerequisite or received prior approval.
  • Transfer students please note: you may need to submit an override request form each semester if your transfer course is counting as a prerequisite.
  • A closed course requires prior department approval.
  • Please submit your request in a timely fashion especially during registration as classes fill up quickly. Requests will be handled in the order in which they are received. 
• Michael J. Coles College of Business
