Registration Permits/Overrides
Most registration permits can be given to students electronically:
- Instructors can give instructor permission and prerequisite overrides via Self-Service for the classes in which they are listed as the primary instructor of record. Learn more.
- Advisors give prerequisite overrides via the Advisor Prerequisite Override system which can be found in the Advising Student Profile.
- Department heads and their designees give other types of registration permits ONLY for courses offered by their department. These overrides are typically given via the Banner Administrative system (using the SFASRPO screen). Learn more.

Registration permits given by department heads on the SFASRPO screen can be given at the course level (will apply to any section of a given course) or the section level. Primary instructors can only give overrides at the section level (for the sections they teach) via Self-Service. Permits do not automatically enroll a student in a class, and students must enroll themselves online after a permit has been given. In the table below, "Department" refers to the department offering the course unless otherwise indicated.

Some registration permits require a paper/manual override:

- Class time conflict
- Level overrides (ex: undergraduate student enrolling in a graduate level course)
Note that there ARE no closed/full class overrides in Banner. Departments can contact the Registrar’s Class Scheduling team (gurooms@okstate.edu) to request an increase in the class maximum enrollment to allow additional students to register in a class.
