Override requests for psychology courses will be accepted only during Advance Registration.

Override approval is not guaranteed; students should register for an alternate course. Most decisions about approving an override request will be made after Advance Registration closes.

If the PSY override is approved, students will be notified by their ISU e-mail account. Students are responsible for using approved overrides to register for PSY courses as soon as possible. When informed that a PSY override has been approved, students should drop the alternate course and register for the approved PSY course. If an override is approved after Advance Registration closes, students should register for the approved override during Registration and Program Change. Override approval can expire if students fail to register for PSY courses in a timely manner.

Override requests will be accepted for:
PSY 200 Careers in Psychology
PSY 231 Research Methods in Psychology
any PSY 300-level courses (see exception below)

Override requests WILL NOT be accepted for:
any PSY 100-level courses
any PSY 200-level courses (see exception above)
PSY 302 Developmental Psychology of Adolescence

Requesting a closed PSY course:
The department is no longer accepting override requests for summer 2008 or fall 2008. The override request form will not be available until Advance Registration for spring 2009.

Requesting a prerequisite course override:
If the PSY course is not full, the prerequisites for the PSY course have been completed and a grade recorded (at Illinois State or another institution), and the system will not allow students to register for the PSY course, contact Dr. Karen Mark by e-mail at kimark@ilstu.edu for a prerequisite override. Do not submit the PSY override request form.

For students in the Psychology Minor requesting an override for PSY 231, contact Dr. Mark by e-mail.

Override requests for other courses:
For an override in a non-PSY course, contact the specific department.
