Registration Overrides
Registration overrides allow faculty to grant exceptions to registration restrictions (missing prerequisites, corequisites, wrong major, class full, time conflict, etc.) or special approval for a particular student. Faculty that are designated the primary instructor for the class may grant overrides only for their own classes. Overrides should be inputted in the system before the student attempts to register for the class.
Instructions to input a registration override are available at UH System’s Registration Overrides website.
Types of Overrides Available
| General Overrides | Description |
|---|---|
| Capacity Override | This overrides the enrollment limit on your class and allows a student to enroll in your class even though it has reached the maximum seat capacity.* |
| Corequisite Override | This allows a student to enroll in your class without the required corequisite. |
| Major Override | This allows a student with a major other than the required major to enroll in your class. |
| Prerequisite Override | This allows a student to enroll in your class without the required prerequisite. |
| Spec Appr -Instr,Dept,Dean, etc | This allows a student to enroll in your class that requires special approval. |
| Time Conflict Override | This allows a student to enroll in your class even if the time conflicts with another class. |
*The capacity override should not be used while the waitlist feature is available during the registration period. Students who contact the instructor for an override into a closed class should be instructed to use the waitlist. Capacity overrides should only be used during the late registration period.
