At this point you are done and the student should be able to register as long as they do not have any other registration errors for the specified class.

Chair/Program Director Access to Registration Overrides

Chairs and program directors have access to enter overrides for any student. Chairs and program directors should ensure they are only entering overrides for classes in their departments.

If a student needs an override in a different department, the student should contact the instructor of the course first, then if needed, the chair or program director.

Download the instructions: Registration Overrides in Banner – Chairs/Program Directors

Students are able to view entered overrides by following the instructions found here.
