Beginning the 6th day of the fall/spring semester, the 1st day of summer/winter session, or the 1st day of any off-cycle course that begins within the regular session, students may request to change sections online by obtaining required authorizations. In most cases, the online section change process replaces the paper add forms or email requests used in previous sessions.
Online Section Change Notifications
Every morning at 5:00 a.m., emails will be sent to departments with a list of students who have pending section change requests that have not been authorized by the department (or instructor) during the previous 24 hours. Emails will be sent to a registration email monitored by departmental administrator(s). Please check with your department to determine who is responsible for managing these requests.

FAQs
-
Instructors can only authorize or deny section changes for students in sections they are assigned to.
-
If an instructor is only assigned to one piece of a related section course, they will only be able to authorize for that piece. We suggest that section change authorizations for courses with multiple related sections work through their departmental administrator so they can authorize everything at once.
-
Instructor Authorization = Departmental Authorization, and visa-versa. If an instructor authorizes, the departmental administrator does not need to.
Courses which allow Multiple Section Registration will work with online section change requests.
