Course Registration

Undergraduate Permits

A permit overrides restrictions allowing students to register for courses they were otherwise unable to register for. The types of permits offered for philosophy (PHIL), public policy (PUBP), and political science (POL) courses are listed below.

Permit TypePermit Allowance
MajorRegistration for major restricted courses
Overload*Registration into a full course
PrerequisiteRegistration for course that you don’t have the prerequisite for
TimeRegistration for courses offered at the same time

*The School of Public Policy utilizes waitlists so overload permits will be considered on a case by case basis.

Non-B.S. PUBP Majors

Permits for spring and fall will be processed for students with declared School of Public Policy (PUBP) majors and minors during phase I registration.

B.S. PUBP Majors

Permits for non-PUBP majors and minors for the summer will also be processed during phase I registration. Permits for spring and fall for non-PUBP majors and minors will not be processed until phase II registration begins.
