Closed Course Overrides and Registration Assistance

All Requests for Assistance

• The Office of Distance and Extended Learning (ODEL) staff process requests for assistance in the order they are are received, within three business days.
• The course instructor must provide approval for a Closed Class Override.
• The ODEL staff process each request for assistance individually, but we cannot guarantee admission / registration for any specific course.

Deadline for Late Registration with a Fee

Please review the Academic Calendar and Time Tickets page, to see if the last day for late registration with a fee has passed. Once the last day for late registration with a fee has passed, it may not be possible for you to gain admission to a course even if the instructor approves.

Department Approved Registration: Late Schedule Changes

After the deadline for late registration with a fee, a Department-Approved Registration override is required, within a brief period for late schedule changes. Note the following requirements:

• If you already have a class schedule, you will need a Chair Override.
• If you have not previously registered and do not have a course schedule, you will need a Chair Override, access to the Registrar's Departmental Approval for Late Registration form (to be provided by ODEL staff, upon review), and will be subject to a $200 fee.

Approval

After receiving an e-mail from ODEL indicating that you were granted a course override or can now register, you must go back and register for the course to add the course to your schedule within the respective registration period.
