Sometimes there are special circumstances where students need to add a course that is already full or take a course without the listed prerequisites or requirements. In these cases, you can request an exception to add a course. You may qualify if:
- This is the last course you need for graduation
- You have transfer credits that meet the prerequisite requirements
Step 1: If you try to register for a course and you get this error message, follow the directions given based on the type of course you wish to request an exemption. (On-Campus, Remote, or Online)
1. If you want an exception to register for an On-Campus or Remote course, contact the instructor.
2. If you want an exception to register for an online course, click the link provided in the error message.
Note: the Online Course Authorization form is ONLY for Online Courses.
Step 2: If you followed the link to request an exception to add an online course, fill out the information requested in the form shown below.
Step 3: If you are unable to click the link or it is broken, please follow this link to the Online Course Authorization form:

I graduated BYU Idaho in 1996 and University of Utah in 2001. I am currently teaching elementary school science under an emergency credential and need 4 more science units in order to continue teaching next school year. I have taken most everything except for Geology and am hoping I can still register for an intro to geology course. My application was just accepted today but I can not get into the class that I need. Is there anyone who can help me with this dilemmna?
