The authorizations will not override the maximum enrollment on the course section. If the department issues more authorizations than the number of seats in maximum enrollment, students with the lowest priority will not be enrolled. A course reserves all seats for subject area majors and has a priority rule. The instructor issues an authorization that allows a non-major to compete for a seat in the section, if the student request the course. Issuing a permit guarantees a student a seat in the course, if the student requests enrollment.
Permits override the maximum enrollment limits.
When a student obtains a permit for a course, as soon as the student requests the course, he or she is enrolled. These course requests are not included in the batch scheduling process. When students request courses with corequisites, the system returns a message informing the student that there is a corequisite requirement. If the student has requested credit-bearing corequisite sections without requesting all of the corequisite sections, the scheduler will try to enroll the student in the requested sections, regardless of the status of the corequisites.
