In Campus Solutions, departments may override a class-specific enrollment condition (e.g., requisite, closed class, consent required) to allow a student to add or drop a class themselves, rather than having the department enroll the student and enter the overrides through Quick Enroll.

Add Permissions

Departments and advisors may enter a permission to allow a student to:

  • Enroll themselves in a class by overriding a closed class, requisite or consent required status.

  • Waitlist for a closed class by overriding a requisite. This permission stays with the student, so when the waitlist process runs in Campus Solutions, the system will see the permission to override the requisite and enroll the student from the waitlist if/when an opening occurs in the class.

Permissions may be entered anytime between when the class is scheduled and the student add or drop deadline.

      Drop Permissions

      Departments/advisors may enter a permission to allow a student to drop a specific class that has a corequisite or is set up with drop-consent required. To do so:

      1. Navigate to the Class Permissions component (Records & Enrollment > Term Processing > Class Permissions > Class Permissions).
      2. Enter the course information.
      3. On the Permission to Drop tab, find the row with the enrollment section of the class you're looking for before you enter the student ID. Class sections are not always in chronological order on this component.
      4. Under the Defaults section, check the boxes for only those items you want to override. Permission Time Period isn't used on this campus, so checking that box has no effect on the student.
      5. Under the Class Permission Data section, enter the student ID. The selected permissions in the Defaults section will carry forward to that student. The Expiration Date field defaults to the last day of the term, but the system still honors that term's add and drop deadlines.
        • To grant permissions to another student, click the plus symbol to add a new row.
        • To make changes to the permissions you originally selected for a student, click the Permission tab.
      6. When you're finished, click Save.
      7. Once the permission is entered, the student can drop the class through the posted drop deadline. Drops that occur after the deadline to drop without a W grade still result in a W grade.

      • Permissions function in accordance with drop deadlines.
        • If you give a student a permission to drop prior to the deadline to drop without a W grade, but the student waits until after that deadline to drop the class, they'll receive a W grade.
        • If you give a student a permission to drop prior to the drop deadline, but the student waits until after that deadline, they won't be able to drop the class themselves and must instead go through the dean's office petition process.
      • If you're giving permission for a student to drop a class that has an associated (linked) non-enrollment component, like a recitation or lab, you only need to enter the permission to drop on the enrollment component (usually the lecture section); the non-enrollment component will be dropped automatically when the student drops the enrollment component.
      • You can ignore the Expiration Date on the permission. This field defaults to the last day of the term; however, students can't drop a class themselves after the last day to drop a class (i.e., the 10th Friday of classes in fall or spring; the deadline varies for summer sessions).
