Introduction
Use a Permission Number to add:
- a restricted class BEFORE the term begins, and
- any class AFTER the term begins.
You’ll know when to add a class with a permission number because the words Department or Instructor Consent Required will display in the Enrollment Requirements section of the Student Center (SOLAR) Add Classes pages (see Step 7 below). Note: If the class you want to add requires concurrent enrollment in another class (e.g., corequisite lecture-lab such as BIOL 101 and BIOL 101L), obtain a permission number from the instructor of each class before you begin your enrollment transaction.
Permission numbers can be re-used until:
- your enrollment in the class is successful,
- the Late Registration/Schedule Adjustment Period ends, or
- the permission number expires.
