Class Permissions & Offerings

Class Permissions

If you are attempting to add a course that requires instructor consent, department consent, is reserved for a specific group of students, or similar, you may be blocked from adding the course. You may request an override using the form linked below. However, please read through the details below to ensure you are submitting a valid request.

• The SOLS Graduate Office is only permitted to provide overrides for graduate level (500+) courses in SOLS. If you need access to a SOLS undergraduate course (100-400 level), please email the SOLS Undergraduate Advising office sols.advising@asu.edu with your request. 

• If you would like an override into a non-SOLS course, you will need to contact the other department directly to inquire about their process for a possible override.

• Many classes do not require an override, so if you are running into an issue, please be sure to check that you are attempting to add the correct course. For instance, research and thesis/dissertation hours do not require an override. However, you will only have access to the appropriate research and thesis/dissertation course for your specific degree. Biology PhD students will only be able to access BIO 792 Research and BIO 799 Dissertation. 

• [BIO MS or BIOS MS Students Only] Please note that BIO 592 Research and BIO 599 Thesis require departmental consent. Please complete the form for this override.

• If the add course deadline has passed within the semester you are seeking an override, then this request is no longer sufficient for adding the course. Instead of filling out the form linked below, please contact sols.grad@asu.edu. The SOLS graduate office will review your request and determine whether or not it is possible to get you into the course after the add deadline.
