Class Permission Requests
Students who wish to add a class—but are receiving an error message—may follow the Class Permissions Procedures listed on this page to override the error. Permissions will override a closed class, requisites not met, department consent required, instructor consent required, and late adds.
How do I request permission?
Permissions are granted by the college teaching the class. You can find the college on the Schedule of Classes under the Offering College heading.
Check out our Registration FAQs to see if the error you received in Catalyst can be overridden with a Class Permission.
Note: The Office of the Registrar is unable to process requests for students.

Students looking to late add a class after the completion of open registration should reach out directly to the faculty member of the course section that they are trying to add. If the faculty member approves the late add, the faculty member will email jenn.wiswell@uc.edu with the class, section number (e.g., BA 3080-002) and the student’s M#. The student will be copied on this message. The request will be reviewed to ensure room capacity and completion of appropriate requisites. Jenn Wiswell will email the student with permission to register, if appropriate.
Non-Matriculated (Visiting) Students
Non-matriculated (visiting) students should email Jenn Wiswell (jenn.wiswell@uc.edu) to request permission to enroll in a closed class. Students should include M#, class and section number (e.g., OM 3080-001), and the reason they wish to take the class. If the class has requisites, also include verification of requisites taken at another institution.
