Class Permissions
What are Class Permissions?
Class Permissions are a way for an instructor or department to authorize a student's enrollment in a course.
Department Consent
You may need to obtain permission for certain types of classes, including but not limited to independent study, directed study thesis, internships, etc. These courses are annotated with Department Consent Required on the class schedule. Contact the department offering the course to obtain permission to enroll. Once the department or faculty has granted permission within my.SDSU, you will be able to enroll in the course.
Permission Numbers
Enrollment after the fifth* instructional day is by permission only (*deadlines may vary in summer). In order to enroll in a course, you must contact the course instructor and request a permission number. You will enter the permission number in my.SDSU when enrolling in the course.
Permission numbers can only be used one time and should not be shared with other students.
