Introduction

Permission numbers are unique numbers assigned to classes that allow students to override class restrictions. A unique permission number may only be used to enroll in the class for which it was created. All permission classes require students to enter a permission number to enroll, or a department staff must override. Most directed studies/research or supervision classes require permission. Multiple class sections have unique permission numbers that are not interchangeable or applicable to another class section.

NOTE:
All classes in all careers have assigned permission numbers when the classes are created, whether the class requires permission or not. The permission number allows students to enroll in classes outside their career, closed classes if the requisite is not met, etc. A class permission may also allow a student to drop a class.
