Course Restrictions and Authorized Enrollments

What They Are

Course restrictions and authorized enrollments originate when departments submit courses to the Registrar's Office. Departments can make changes and authorize closing enrollments by notifying the University Registrar (Debbie Hoffman, 4-4132, or Pam Lawson, 2-2303; ).

Faculty members control the numbers of students in their courses by setting the authorized enrollments, determining restrictions, and closing off the add process when the course is full or when they want to manage the add process themselves (via Course Action Forms).

Imposition of Course Restrictions After a Student Has Enrolled

Once enrolled in a course a student may not be excluded by the belated imposition of course restrictions. Enrolled means enrolled unless a student has ignored prerequisites published in the Undergraduate Record. Faculty are obliged to accept students who add into their courses through ISIS.

Enrollment Only Through Instructor Permission / Course Action Form

Instructors who want to stop enrollment in their classes via ISIS and have students enroll through a Course Action Form only should contact the person in their department who oversees courses in ISIS, or Debbie Hoffman (Pam Lawson, 2-2303, or Debbie Hoffman, 4-4132; )

Wait List System

Several departments now use the electronic wait list system (faculty: log in to manage your course wait list.) If you or your department is interested in having access to the electronic wait list, please call either Lori Schuyler (3-5513) or Rachel Most (4-8873) for more information.
