This page provides Instructors with the information needed to grant special permission for course sections they are teaching. 

Special Permission Information

The Special Permission panel is used to grant special permission and view students with special permission.

  • Instructors may add section level special permission only
    • If course level permission is needed, please contact a department administrator in your department
  • If permission for an independent study course is needed and the course does not yet appear in your MyCourses area in MAUI, work with your department administrator to provide permission
  • You may grant special permission for sections that have a restriction, for undergraduates who register in a 5000-level course, and for all students who audit a course (reduce to zero semester hours)
  • Granting special permission to a student DOES NOT enroll the student in the course
  • Deleting special permission DOES NOT drop a student from the course

Please Note

Instructors of Independent Study (IND) courses should work with their department administrator to assign special permission for students. A section of the IND course for a given semester or session will not display in an instructor's MyCourses area in MAUI until at least one student has enrolled with the instructor.
