Changes to a class schedule after the initial drop/add period, including adding/dropping 4th quarter classes, require students to navigate to their "Class Schedule" in WesPortal and follow directions on how to correct their schedule. All requests will need to go through the workflow for consideration. Students will receive an email when the request is either fully approved and processed, or denied at any stage of the process. FACULTY can review pending requests by clicking on the link they receive via email or simply clicking this link.

PRE-REGISTRATION Permission of Instructor & Pre-Requisite Override

POI and Pre-Req Override Requests are handled through WesPortal. Please see the instructions below.

If you have any questions, please send an email to the Registrar's Office.

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 WesPortal.
  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.
  6. Reminder: a Permission of Instructor Approval guarantees enrollment in the course. You should still confirm it has been successfully added to your schedule.
  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:

  1. In WesMaps, if you click "Add to My Courses" and you do NOT meet the pre-requisite requirements, you will need to type a justification note to the instructor and click Submit.
  2. The course will appear in your plan as "PREREQ Requested" and the request will appear in the instructor's WesPortal.
  3. If the instructor approves the override, 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 pre-req approval, you will NOT be enrolled through scheduling nor adjustment.
  6. Reminder: a Pre-Requisite Override does NOT guarantee enrollment in the course.
  7. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate contact with the instructor and fulfill all approval processes.
