When an IAH course section is full, IAH will allow students to override into the section only with the written permission of the faculty teaching the course (not the section TA). Please complete the following form for this purpose. Once the course faculty has signed the form, indicating permission for an override, the student should bring the form to the main office of IAH at 305 Linton to be enrolled in the course.

Students seeking to enroll in an IAH course for which they have yet to fulfill the prerequisite should contact Dr. Kirk Kidwell, Assistant Director of CISAH, via email at kidwell@cal.msu.edu.
Permission to override course prerequisites will be granted only under extenuating circumstances and only with documentation justifying the necessity of the prerequisite override.
IAH does not grant overrides for online IAH courses. Each semester, IAH receives far too many such requests to be able to accommodate every student. Most students have good reasons for needing to enroll in an online IAH course; however, it is not fair to anyone — the students or the IAH faculty and staff — for CISAH to decide which student's need for an override is more legitimate than another's. Accordingly, enrollment in online IAH courses is on a first-come, first-served basis. Once an online IAH course is full, there will be no course overrides authorized for any reason. In addition, IAH will not authorize late adds to online courses once the free-add period ends at the beginning of each semester.
