Special Permission Codes
Special Permission Code Details
- Special permission codes do not replicate and must be requested for each session in which a special permission code is needed
- Course level permission will allow a student to enroll in any section of the course
- Section level permission will allow a student to enroll only in the section for which a special permission code has been created
- Different codes can be created at section level for courses with multiple sections if a department wishes to control which populations are able to enroll in each section of the course
- Keep in mind students may share special permission codes with each other. If this could be problematic, the department should assign individual special permission to students in lieu of using a permission code

Prerequisite Special Permission
Detailed information regarding policy and assignment instructors for prerequisite special permission will be added soon. In the meantime please visit the Office of the Registrar website for information.
Courses with Prerequisites and Restrictions
When a course has one or more prerequisites and also has a restriction, a different approach must be taken.
Prerequisite permission does not override a restriction. If a student is granted prerequisite permission and does not meet the restriction, the department must also grant section level permission.
