Permission Numbers

Some courses require a permission number, which the student must enter when adding the course to their enrollment. The course may be set up to require a permission number from all students who register for it, or only from students who do not meet course prerequisites. The permission number indicates to the system that the student has the instructor's approval to register.

Permission numbers are distributed as follows: 

  • PSY 5993: Request a permission number by emailing Heidi Wolff. Either the student or the advisor may email the request, but Heidi needs written advisor approval to proceed. If it's the student emailing Heidi, they may either attach or forward an email that shows their advisor's approval, or they may copy their advisor and ask them to reply to Heidi with their approval.
  • PSY 8993: Students should send their CLA Graduate Student/Faculty Contract with student and advisor signatures to Laura Luepke (ADGS) to receive a permission number. International students pursuing CPT should complete steps 1-3 of the ISSS CPT application process. As part of Step 4, the ISSS advisor will identify the number of credits and semester for the PSY 8993 credit(s) that need to be included on the contract.
  • Other Psychology courses: For a course that requires a permission number to register, students should request the number from the instructor. Either the instructor or a staff member will email the student the number (depending on the instructor's arrangement for managing their course's numbers).

Note: Some areas email registration instructions to students that may include permission numbers. Students in these areas should consult that information prior to enrolling or contacting instructors to request permission numbers.
