Application for Override

Tags students

What is this service?

Students may submit a request for a course override if they receive a registration error and feel they have valid reasons to be granted an exception to be permitted to register in a section.

Types of registration errors:

  • Closed section: This section has reached its capacity. An override will not be approved if another section fits your schedule.
  • Pre-requisite or course restriction: Refer to the Registration Errors section at https://www.mystfx.ca/registrars-office/registration to determine the reason for the registration error.
  • Co-requisite: Another CRN is required. Attempt to register again with the section and lab CRNs.

Why is it useful?

Students may request an override for a course after registration has opened. Requests sent prior to registration will not be processed.

How do I access this service?
