 Overrides – normal reasons are: getting into a class that is full, a time conflict, getting into a class when you don’t have the prerequisites  YOU must talk to the instructor and get her/his permission  The instructor (not you) must email the office staff asking for the override  They have to supply the course line number, your name, and your ID, so supply all of these items to the instructor

8/22/09 freshman orientation 12

 The instructor will notify you when it is completed and you will need to go online and add the course  You should CHECK (on MyASU) to make sure it has registered – you are responsible always to ensure you are officially registered for the correct classes
