Overflows – Authorizations – Restrictions

Before you can register, some courses require special authorization from a department or have certain registration restrictions. The appropriate department must approve and enter the overflow or special authorization information into the registration system before you will be able to successfully register for the course yourself. As shown in the online course listings found at GoSOLAR, an asterisk precedes the course number for courses requiring special authorization and a plus sign precedes the course number for courses with registration restrictions. Overflow policies vary with each department. Contact the specific department for authorization and overflow information. See the “Course Authorization” in the General Information section of this guide for departmental locations and telephone numbers.
