Faculty Override
Instructors can give permission for students to enter a closed or restricted course by releasing the student on Ursa . They will need the student's Bear number, and the registration number of the course. After the faculty release is processed the student will have to complete the registration process.
Course Pre-requisites
Prerequisites will be checked at the time of registration. Students not meeting the prerequisites of the course they are attempting to enter will not be able to register on Ursa . Please check the current catalog for prerequisite information or contact the departments.
