Override Request Process

A student may need an override to get into a class for either of two reasons: (1) the class is closed or (2) the student does not satisfy the prerequisite as it is entered in the registration system.

  1. Closed (filled) classes
    During the early enrollment period, students should request an override by sending an email message to Prof. Fox at foxcj@jmu.edu. After that, students should contact the course's instructor.
  2. Waiving prerequisites
    Students that want to waive a prerequisite should contact the course's instructor. Normally, prerequisites are NOT waived except for exceptional circumstances.
