Instructors can give Registration Overrides for your courses. An instructor override can allow a student to register for a course if:
- They have not satisfied the prerequisites
- The course requires instructor's permission
- If the student is not satisfied in a class (first-year, sophomore, etc.) or there is a significant restriction,
Students can request an override in Workday. When searching for classes in Find Course Sections, you may receive an alert that you cannot register for a course section.
- In the Search bar at the top of your Workday portal, type "Request Course Section Prerequisite Override" and select the task from the search results.
- In the Academic Period field of the pop-up, start typing the term and year and click enter to select from the search results (ex. "Spring" 2024").
- Click on the Course field and type the course section name to bring up the course you want to request.
- Click into the Course Section field and start typing the course section name to bring up the course you want to request.
- Select OK.
- On the confirmation screen, you can add comments in the comment box if needed to help justify your override request or explain the circumstances of the override.
- Select Submit when ready. Select Done.
- The request will route to the instructor's inbox. The course instructor can approve the request, send it back to add comments for clarification or deny it.
- Check your My Tasks inbox (mailbox icon) and Notifications (bell icon) at the top right of your portal often to see if the request was approved or denied or if you need to provide more information.
