CECS Overrides

Submit only if you received an error when attempting to register for an Engineering, Computer Science, and Information Technology course for which you meet prerequisites. Requests will be reviewed by CECS advisors and, if approved, students will receive a notification via email.

Students will either be given approval to waitlist or enroll themselves. In some cases, an Advisor will register the student for the class. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR EMAIL FREQUENTLY AFTER SUBMISSION TO DETERMINE IF YOU NEED TO TAKE ANY ACTION TO REGISTER FOR THE CLASS(ES) YOU HAVE REQUESTED.

NOTE: If prerequisites were taken at a private or out-of-state institution AND are not satisfied on your audit, you would need to have a successful petition for equivalency prior to submitting an override request.

Disclaimer — If you have been granted an override into a course for an upcoming term that you are in-progress of completing prerequisites for:

• The override does not guarantee you registration for the course.
• If you do not submit proof of a final grade in the prerequisite course(s) (with a “C” or better) by the first day of classes, you will be dropped from the course.
• Proof should be 1) a screen shot of your final grade in the prerequisite course(s) or 2) a printed copy of your unofficial transcript showing your final grade in the prerequisite course(s). Either form must clearly show your name, the name or URL of the institution, and your final grade in the course. This proof can be sent as a reply to the email that you receive requesting proof.
