Overrides
The override process varies by COS department, so you will need to ask someone in the department or someone who teaches the course how to proceed. One thing, though, is likely: for an override in any COS department, you will need the course prefix and number, name of the class, date/time (the Class Number may also be helpful), and the reason why you need an override (i.e., what was the Error message when you tried to register for the course?).
COS Department Main Offices: locations where to pursue overrides for Registration Errors including:
- Requisite Not Met For A Class,
- Class Is Full,
- Time Conflict,
- Class Limit Exceeded,
- Instructor’s Consent Required
TIP: If the class you want is unavailable (blue square), check myUCF periodically to see if a spot has opened up (green circle). Students drop classes all the time, and for a variety of reasons, especially during Add/Drop week (first week of classes each term).
Online Override
When registering for a class, there are two possible outcomes; either you are enrolled into the course or you receive an error. Each error has a specific reason and, for most errors, it can be solved with an override. In the chart below, each error is specified, described and has information about where to get the appropriate override.
Commonly Mistaken for COS Courses
Please note a college can only process overrides for courses they teach, i.e. the College of Sciences cannot process and override for ENC 1102 since that course is taught by the College of Arts and Humanities.
