Using Permission Numbers

Class Permission Numbers are used by students to enroll in courses that are full, (class enrollment limit); require consent; or requisites (co-requisites and pre-requisites). Depending on the type of restriction in place, Permission Numbers are obtained from the Class Instructor or the Department Office. Permission Numbers can be entered by students when enrolling online through BroncoDirect. Class permission numbers issued to override seat capacity for closed classes are valid only during our ADD/DROP period (first 6 days of instructions) and will expire after the last day to add classes. See Academic Calendar for dates and deadlines.
