Step 1: Add yourself to waitlist

Overrides are generally not allowed for ISS courses, and absolutely not provided for online courses or courses with 50 or fewer seats.
- Online and small courses fill quickly, on a first-come, first-served basis only. While important, work schedules, physical location, and other personal factors or scheduling circumstances cannot be taken into account when considering overrides.
Instead of requesting an override, you should add yourself to the waitlist for the course you prefer.
- If you are on the waitlist and already enrolled in another ISS course or in a course that has a conflicting schedule, use the swap function to facilitate enrollment if a seat opens in the preferred course. Learn more about the swap function [pdf].

Step 2: Understand the circumstances in which overrides will be approved

If you have completed an ISS 200-level or 300-level course, you will be prevented from enrolling in another course at that same level. For example, if you completed ISS 210, you will be unable to enroll in ISS 215. In this situation, overrides will be considered on a case-by-case basis in the following situations:
- The course is part of a study away or study abroad program
- The course is a requirement for your major or minor
- You need the course to complete an IDN requirement
Requests for overrides into in-person ISS 300-level courses will be considered on a case-by-case basis in the following situations:
- You will complete your degree in the current semester, and this course is the only option to complete graduation requirements.
- You are unable to enroll into an ISS course due to the enrollment system not recognizing transfer credit or substitutions as fulfillment of a prerequisite. Requests for prerequisite overrides must be for an open section.

If you meet one of the criteria outlined above, you may submit a request for an override. Before submitting the request:
- Ensure your enrollment period is open.
- Ensure that any enrollment holds are removed from your account.
- Select one specific section for the override request and submit only one request; only the first request will be reviewed.
- Be sure to include all required information in the form.
- Do not request the course as an elective.
Any requests that do not meet the criteria outlined above will not be reviewed, and no email notice will be provided.
If you meet one of the criteria outlined in Step 3, you may submit a request for consideration using the form below. Requests will be verified using student records.
