Courses with prerequisites may be overridden by permission of the academic advisor or the department advisor that is offering the course. This permission is also known as a “prerequisite override.” The academic or department advisor will provide you with the authorized (signed) prerequisite override approval to override the course prerequisite. Either you or your academic advisor must present the prerequisite override to the registrar staff to override the prerequisite and be registered into the course.

Note: The prerequisite permission does not give you permission to register into a closed course that has no seats available. In that case, you must also obtain permission from the department or instructor offering the course, as well as obtaining the prerequisite override before your registration is completed.
