• To provide a safety net for students who are unable to enroll in immediately necessary classes during advance registration
• To ensure that students have the opportunity to request exceptions based on special circumstances
• To create a transparent process that fairly distributes available class seats and requires accountability from students for their academic schedules

• Students are given an opportunity to request overrides during a designated time period immediately following advance registration. This allows students to enroll in classes as they are able to and assess their situation after registering for available classes.
• Student requests are individually reviewed and prioritized in the following manner:
  • Immediate need in light of reasonable target graduation date
  • Seniority (as determined by credit hours)
  • Remaining requirement options
• The override request form is available via the website and Canvas each semester for approximately one week following advance registration.
• Once the override request process has been completed, the only way to enroll in Hart School classes is if they become available (open) in MyMadison.

• This policy does not apply to practicum or internship classes, or to HM/SRM electives (non-required courses).
• This policy does not apply to any courses outside of the Hart School (HM and SRM). Please contact individual departments for information on their override policies.

For more information, please contact your Hart School Academic Advisor.
