Request for Approval

You may request approval to enroll for course sections you have met prerequisites for, whether the section displays as open, closed, or waitlisted.  If the professor and academic department approve, and physical space allows, then a permit will be placed on your record and you may enroll in the Manage Classes tile using the OU specific enrollment appointment.

 

Waitlisted Courses

The waitlist is for admitted students only. However, an approved Request for Approval for a waitlisted course section is possible, and to the discretion of the professor.  Waitlists expire on Monday of the second week of the semester.  When the waitlist has expired, you may proceed with enrollment for the course in the Manage Classes tile, using the OU specific enrollment appointment.

Important Note: If the professor has approved you to add a waitlisted course section, do contact them directly to request access to Canvas and participate in the course, prior to official enrollment.  View access to a course, however, is NOT official enrollment.  Remember to complete enrollment and payment when the waitlist expires on Monday of the second week of the semester to secure your space and be included on the class roster.

 

Helpful Tips

• Initiate the Request for Approval as soon as the window opens.  You will receive a tracking code to monitor the status of the request.  If it has been more than four business days, it is okay to follow up with the professor or academic department, depending on where the request is at, according to the tracking code.

• Include if you have completed prerequisites and why you are taking the course in the comment section for the professor’s consideration.
• Returning student? Remember to check for registration holds located in the Tasks tile in your Student Homepage.  Holds will prevent you from completing enrollment.
