Registration Overrides
*Visiting students - final grades for pre-requisite courses have must be posted in order to process overrides.
***Due to the high volume or requests, overrides may take a little longer than normal to be processed***
Thank you for your request for an override.
Please read the following information, questions might be answered below.
1. Process: This process is not automatic but a manual process. Depending on the high volume of student traffic, please give the processor 48-72 business hours. If you have not received communication that the override has been processed, please try to schedule the course. It is always a good idea to come in person during peak registration times (December/January, May, & July/August).
2. Pre-requisite check: You can always check the pre-requisite by using the catalog to see what the requirements are for the class getting an error. See the appropriate catalog: http://www.dcc.edu/catalog/default.aspx; click on COURSES.
3. Co-requisite Courses and Errors: Some classes are required to be taken at the same time and you may receive a "Co-Requisite Error". These classes have to be added to worksheet together and then submitted. Please be aware that many BIOL, PHYS, and CHEM lecture and lab courses are recommended co-requisites and require the completion of both lecture and laboratories with grades.
4. Instructor Approval/Department Approval: Some classes require departmental approval and ID verification.
5. Evaluation: This form is not for a course to be evaluated. This form is used to request an override into a class that requires pre-requisites that may have been taken at a different school or requires special circumstances.
6. Rules: Please understand that Delgado rules and policies for pre-requisites and co-requisites are to be followed while attending.
7. Section Number Meanings: Numbers and letters in the course section number identify where and/or how the course is taught.
