Pre-requisite override requests are particularly helpful for students with transfer credit, which may not automatically satisfy pre-requisites.

When a student selects a course for which they have not met the pre-requisites, an error message will appear, with a link to submit a pre-requisite override request.

The link will bring students to a page which allows them to submit a justification for their pre-requisite override request. Once submitted, the instructor(s) of the course will be notified and be able to take action on the request.

Only one professor needs to approve a pre-requisite override request if appropriate to do so. If a pre-requisite override request is approved, the student will be able to add any section of the course to their pre-registration cart.

Select the **Status** drop-down to choose the preferred action. - Approved - student will be able to add the course to their plan. - Denied - See Me

Click **Submit** to save your selections. The student will receive an email notification when action is taken.
