Registration Overrides
Registration Override allows the primary Instructor to give a student permission to take their class. This needs to be done before the student attempts to register. If a student is encountering a registration error or it is during the second week to add for a term, when instructor approval is required, a student cannot register for the class without the appropriate override.
Providing an override DOES NOT >automatically register the student. Please be sure the student is aware an override is entered so they may register accordingly. Additionally, if you have provided an override into a class for a student on a waitlist, the student must drop themselves from the waitlist before they will be able to register for the class with the override.
