Undergraduate Business Course Permit

What is a Permit?

Some courses are restricted due to pre-requisite requirements or class standing (sophomore, junior, etc.) requiring permission (or a permit) to register.  In some cases, a message in Schedule Planner indicates a permit is required. In other cases, students will receive an error message stating "Pre-Reg/Test Score Error," or "Class Restriction." 

For more information on permits university-wide, please visit the Registrar site.
