Overrides

Overriding Registration Restrictions

Most Notre Dame classes are restricted to specific groups of students. If you do not meet the requirements to take a class but believe you are otherwise qualified and that an exception should be made to allow you to register, you should contact the academic department offering the course.  At their discretion, they can approve you to take a class with unmeet restrictions by adding an override to your record.  This will keep you from receiving an error message in your PATH PLAN and allow you to register once you are in NOVO registration.

Special Approval Required

Academic departments often require students to obtain specific approval from them in order to register for a class.  In this situation, you need to follow the instructions PATH Class Search regarding how to get the approval added to your record.  If in doubt, you should contact the academic department offering the class by phone or email.
