Viewing and Granting Class Permissions (Instructors)

Viewing and Granting Class Permissions (Instructors)

Instructors can view and grant Class Permissions in the Student Administration System.

Class Permissions are used for instructor consent classes, over-enrollment, and overriding requisites. This article will provide instructions on how to view existing Class Permissions or grant Class Permissions as needed. You can also use this page to customize which requirements Class Permissions will override.

Both instructors and administrative users with appropriate user security will be able to view and grant Class Permissions.

Class Permissions can override multiple requisites including the following:

  • Closed Class: Allows a student to over-enroll in a full course or take a reserve capacity seat.

  • Requisite Not Met: Allows a student who does not meet the prerequisites or who has a credit restriction due to a previously taken course to register.

  • Consent Required: Allows a student to enroll in a course that requires permission.
