Adds Requiring Permits
Classes Require Department Consent (Dept Consent/Requisites):
When the registration system (myCoyote) informs you that department consent or requisites are required for a class you are trying to register for, Department permission must be granted. Departments will first check that you meet the requirements for the class before placing the permit onto your records. This may include student level, pre-requisites, co-requisites, GPA, major or classification. Please submit an online request through the Permission Request link from your Student Center. View the How To tutorial to learn more. You may also email the department of the class to request a "permit" to enroll.
Closed (Full) Classes:
When a class reaches its maximum enrollment capacity it is then considered “closed” to other registrants. Permission must be obtained from the instructor and department chair of a closed class to be registered over the max enrollment capacity. If a class is waitlisted, students will need to add themselves to the waitlist and watch for email confirmation once enrolled. We recommend that students check their CSUSB email account daily. If the class is not waitlisted and permission to enroll by "permit" is granted, register for the class through myCoyote. Or you may also request permission online through the Permission Request link from your Student Center. View the How To tutorial to learn more.
NOTE! It is a student's responsibility to add a class to their class schedule by officially registering for that class.
BE ADVISED: Instructors cannot “add” a class to your class schedule by adding your name to the class roster! Official enrollment for a class must be initiated by the student, by following the procedures listed above. CONFIRM ENROLLMENT BY CHECKING YOUR CLASS SCHEDULE. If it isn't there, you are not enrolled in the class.
Canvas: Access to classes through Canvas is not official enrollment in the class. You MUST check your class schedule to confirm official enrollment. If you are not enrolled in a class through myCoyote, you must take the steps mentioned above to ensure you are officially enrolled in the class.

If permission to enroll is granted, register for the class through myCoyote by the Census deadline placed for each term. Or you may also request permission online through the Permission Request link from your Student Center. View the How To tutorial to learn more.

Requisites Not Met: When the registration system (myCoyote) informs you that requisites are required for a class you are trying to register for, this could be for various reasons. Most upper division courses require junior standing while other courses may require a pre-requisite be completed.

Additional units may be added only during the late registration period, if classes remain open, the course is not waitlisted and the Course Overload is approved. Additional registration fees must be paid, if any, and holds must be cleared prior to submitting a request to overload for processing. For these requests, please use the Permission Request link from your Student Center in myCoyote to submit a request to overload through this online process. View the How To tutorial to learn now.
