ECE Course Permission Request Policy

• Permission numbers will not be given if you do not have the prerequisites for a class. At times there are exceptions which will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, e.g., if you have taken a course equivalent to the prerequisite but the computer system does not recognize it.
• For classes with multiple sections: Permission will not be given to over-enroll these classes unless there are work/school related time conflicts. If there are time conflicts your request will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and permission should be requested using the Registrar Online Form.
• Some ECE courses are restricted to students in the College of Engineering only. A permission number will not be given to a degree-seeking student if they are not enrolled in the College.

How to Request a Permission Number

Fall/Spring

• During the regular academic year (Fall and Spring) all undergraduate class permission requests must go through this link. They are controlled by the Undergraduate Director and not by the instructor.

Summer/Winter Intersession

• During the Summer and Winter Intersessions, permission requests are controlled directly by the instructor. Email the instructor directly.

Undergraduates Requesting Graduate Courses

• If an undergraduate student who desires to take a graduate-level course, the student must directly email the course instructor requesting a permission to join. The instructor will decide whether the student can take the course, and if a positive decision is made, issue a permission number.
