About Override Requests

In general, when departments approve your override requests (aka course permission requests), you are not automatically enrolled in the course. Approved override requests only allow you to enroll in the course on https://student.msu.edu if there are still open seats when your enrollment date and time begins.

NOTE: We cannot override your assigned enrollment appointment date and time. If the course is full before you can enroll, the approved override request will then allow you to add yourself to the waitlist once you are able to enroll.
