Information on Overloads, Permits, and Prerequisites
Permit Types
- Overloads
- If a class is full and OSCAR lists it as closed, you would need to request an overload to be allowed a space.
- Prerequisite Overrides
- If you have taken the prerequisites required for a course, but the system still gives you a "Prereq or Test Score Error," you may request a prerequisite override here.
- Permits
- If you need a permit to take an AE course, request it here. Examples are AE graduate students taking an AE undergraduate course or vice versa or non-AE students taking restricted AE courses like AE1350.
- Permits for Research
- If you are planning on taking an undergraduate research course such as AE4699 Undergraduate Research or AE4698 Undergraduate Research Assistantship, you must complete this form and have it approved by your research advisor who will then forward it to the AE Academic Office to issue a permit.
- Permits for AE4900 Special Problem
- Use this link if you are planning on taking the AE4900 Special Problem course. This course is NOT for research. Instead, it is for supervised learning; for example, use this number if you plan to study a particular topic under the direction of a faculty member.
- Permits for AE8900 Special Problem
- Use this link if you are planning on taking the AE8900 Special Problem course. This course is required if you are pursuing a masters degree without a thesis.
