Review Prerequisite Override Requests for Faculty

Workday Logo

Overview of Process

Some courses have registration restrictions based on pre-requisites, required previous coursework, class standing, or placement scores. Restrictions are determined by the faculty and vary across the curriculum. Students can request a Course Section Prerequisite Override. Upon submitting the Course Section Prerequisite Override request, a task will route to the My Tasks box of the course section’s instructor or an Academic Department Coordinator (ADC) for approval if the assigned Instructor for the course section is on leave or terminated.
