Registration Permits/ Overrides (for Department Heads)

 

Most registration permits can be given to students electronically:

 

• Department heads and their designees will give permits via the Banner Administrative interface for courses offered by their department.
• Instructors should be able to give instructor permission and prerequisite overrides via Self-Service for the classes in which they are listed as the primary instructor of record.
• Advisors will give prerequisite overrides via the Advisor Prerequisite Override system which can be found in the Advisor tab of Self-Service (Advisor Prerequisite Override).

---

Registration permits 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). 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 will remain outside of Banner, and require a paper/manual override:

 

• Excessive hours petitions
• Class time conflict
• Level overrides (ex: undergraduate student enrolling in a graduate level course)

Note that there will be 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.
