    ⚠ **IMPORTANT:** The **Academic Record** field will show up if you're not active for the Academic Period you're requesting the override for. If this happens, you'll need to submit a new Admissions Application to NWACC at [www.nwacc.edu/CreditApp](https://www.nwacc.edu/CreditApp) If you’ve already applied for that term, log back into the application portal to check for any pending action items that need your attention before you can be accepted.

Does this course actually require a prerequisite override? Some courses *don’t* need one! **If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to reach out to Enrollment Services! We’re here to help! 📞✨**
