General Information
Add authorization codes are faculty permissions for a student to enroll in a class. They will not work if a student has time conflicts, is attempting to exceed their maximum number of units, has taken the class the maximum number of times allowed, or has not met the enforced prerequisites.
Add authorization codes are created the first Friday of the semester. Five (5) codes are created for each scheduled CRN and posted to the official roster. The codes are unique to each CRN, non transferrable, and can only be used once. The add authorization codes are valid up until the day before census.
Add authorization codes, if given, must be given to students in order of their priority on the waitlist. If you have no waitlist or if you have codes left after accommodating all waitlisted students, you are free to give the remaining codes to any student who requests one.
Students are not required to be on the waitlist to add a course with an add authorization code, but priority must be given to those students on the waitlist.
Requests for additional add authorization codes must be submitted through the division dean.
Student Registration and Payment
Enrollment fees are due right away when students register for a course with an add authorization code. Payment plan options are available.
If students are waitlisted in a class and are now registering with an add authorization code, they must first drop the waitlisted course and re-add the same class. They will be prompted to enter the code. If students neglect to drop the class first, they will receive an error message saying they are trying to enroll in a duplicate course.
