Time Conflict Acknowledgement

Registering for courses that overlap in time is not encouraged. However, in very limited circumstances, and with the approval from both instructors, special permission is granted. Students should complete this form in order to request permission to register for a course that overlaps for any amount of time. Additionally, this form can only be completed to enroll in an open course, students cannot be waitlisted for conflicting courses.

By submitting this from, I understand that I will be enrolled in the course by Student Services within 2-3 business days, but it may take up to a week during peak times, if both instructors acknowledge the conflicting enrollments. I also understand that this form can only be completed to enroll in an open course, students cannot be waitlisted for conflicting courses, additional permission is needed from the instructor to enroll in a closed or waitlisted course.
