Students who require special permission to enroll in University Scheduled CICS, COMPSCI or INFO courses should complete this form. Additional steps may be needed for University+ (formerly University Without Walls) section enrollment.
This form is not to bypass prerequisites. Students without the listed prerequisites on SPIRE must provide alternative prerequisites for review.
This form is not for FULL courses. Students who meet both eligibility and prerequisites as listed on SPIRE should add themself to the SPIRE waitlist as their override requests will be denied.
Overrides submitted on or after the first day of classes will be considered LATE and may not be processed. Although we will try our best to accommodate all requests through the Add/Drop deadline, it is best that you make alternative plans for your schedule at this time and check your UMass email often for if we are able to accommodate your request.
Before submitting an override request, please refer to the NEW Registration Updates webpage for known issues: https://www.cics.umass.edu/registration-updates
