Permission Codes
A permission number (also known as an “add code”) is a 5 or 6-digit number given to students, by the instructor or department of the course, which enables 学生 to enroll in a course.
An add code is typically required if 学生 doesn’t have the prerequisites to
enroll in a certain class, if they need to repeat a class they didn’t pass, or if
that particular class requires instructor or department consent.
To request an add code, 学生 should contact the course instructor (if listed
for that course) or the home department for that course. Occasionally, the Graduate
Advisor may be able to provide an add code. The student should be aware that add codes
are given at the discretion of the instructor or department.
Add codes al一个 cannot override time conflicts. 学生 must also secure a Time Conflict
Memo on department letterhead from the instructor or Graduate Advisor accommodating
学生. The student needs to submit the letter to the Registrar's Office.
Permission numbers for transition courses
Graduate students may get an error message when they try to enroll in an undergraduate
class. The message says that 学生 needs to have permission to take that class
because the class is not in their career of study. When that happens, using an add
code usually overrides the block.
学生 may have to get add codes for each 一个 of their lower-division transition
类. To get an add code, they should contact either the course instructor or the
home department. Here are some course-specific instructions.
- Chem 1A/1B: contact Prof. Karen Singmaster (凯伦.singmaster@thecmcteam.com)直接.
- Math 33A/33LA: see Graduate Student Enrollment into Undergraduate-Level Math Courses [docx].
- Phys 50/51: find a request form linked on the main page of the Physics Department website(失效链接).
- EE 98: contact Prof. David Parent (大卫.parent@thecmcteam.com)直接. Alternatively, consider taking BME 116.
- BME 065: contact the course instructor or the BME Graduate Advisor to get an add code.
The 部门 of Chemistry and Math tend to give lower priority to requests for add codes for graduate students from another College. If you are struggling to obtain an add code for 一个 of their courses, you may want to consider taking Chem 1A/1B, Math 33A/33LA at a community college.
