Permit Request FAQs
Why do I need a permit request? How do I know if I will need one in the future?
There are a few common reasons for a permit request. Transfer students may require a permit if their transcripts have not yet been updated in the university system. Students who took a prerequisite at a community college or other university may also not have that prerequisite reflected in the system yet.
Some upper-division courses require permits for other various reasons. Commonly permitted business communications classes are listed below.
BUAD 201 – prerequisite: ENGL 101
BUAD 301 – prerequisite: BUAD 201, ENGL 101
When should I send my permit?
Ideally, you should send your permit request a few days prior to your registration date. This will allow for enough time for us to process your permit before your registration appointment, giving you the best chance of getting into your first choice class.
The longer you wait to send a permit request, the more limited availability becomes.
When is the deadline for requesting a permit?
The department is able to accept permit request forms up until week two of the semester. Once we are in week two, the department requires Instructor permission to issue a permit.
The deadline for departments to issue Instructor-approved permits is typically about three weeks into the semester. Please refer to the calendar page on records.fullerton.edu for more details on specific deadlines for each term.
How do I correctly fill out my permit?
Ensure that you properly download the form before filling out the fields. Then save the file to your computer and attach it to the email.
Please, if applicable, list a second choice class. This will speed up the process in the case that your first choice class fills up.
How many permits can I request?
Students are allotted one permit per course in a given term. For example, you can request one BUAD 301 permit, in which you will list your first and second choice class information.
Can I request a waitlist permit if the class is full?
Yes, however, we are still only able to issue one permit per course in a given term – whether the class is open or waitlisted. If there is an open section of the class remaining, it is recommended that you request a permit for the open class, rather than a waitlist permit for the closed class. Waitlisting does not guarantee enrollment.
What happens if I was issued a permit, but I have a hold on my account?
You will need to resolve the item related to the hold before you can utilize your permit. Department permits are not able to override a hold. If you have questions, please reach out to the Marketing Department or another university staff member.
