You will be able to leave a message after hours.

PERMISSION OF INSTRUCTOR

When necessary please follow these steps to obtain the Permission of the Instructor with the electronic POI submission process:

1. In WesMaps, click “Add to My Courses” and “To request a POI electronically, click here” to submit your request. Please note that a text message will appear above the student plan with information from the instructor regarding the POI approval process (dates, times, contact info, etc).
2. The course will appear in your plan as "POI Requested" and the request will appear in the instructor's EP.
3. If the instructor approves the POI, the text will disappear and the course will be eligible in the scheduling program or be eligible for adjustment enrollment.
4. POI/PreReq approvals can be done completely electronically; however, the instructor may request additional information via email or through a face to face meeting.
5. Please note that without the instructor's POI approval, you will NOT be enrolled through scheduling nor adjustment. You are encouraged to receive all approvals before finalizing your plan.
6. Reminder - a Permission of Instructor Approval guarantees enrollment in the course.
7. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate contact with the instructor and fulfill all approval processes.

PRE-REQUISITE OVERRIDE

When necessary please follow these steps to obtain a Pre-Requisite Override with the electronic pre-requisite override submission process:

IMPORTANT STRATEGIES FOR PLANNING PERIOD

1. You can finalize your plan with pending POI/PreReq approvals; however, you are strongly encouraged to receive them before advisor finalization.

2. POI/PreReq approvals can be done completely electronically; however, the instructor may request additional information via email or through a face to face meeting.

3. Crosslisting and Grade Mode changes cannot be made while a POI is pending or denied; however, PreReqs can be edited while pending.
