SPCEET Advising Overrides

A Corequisite Override is requested when you encounter a registration error because you have not met the required corequisite course registration requirements. Some corequisite courses must be taken simultaneously, and you must be officially registered for the required course. Waitlisted courses do not satisfy corequisite requirements.

---

Before Submitting:

• Use DegreeWorks or Owl Express to verify whether you are already registered for the required corequisite course.
• Confirm whether the courses must be registered for simultaneously.
• Check for course substitutions: If you have an approved course substitution, verify that it is reflected in DegreeWorks, as substitutions may occasionally interfere with the registration system.
  • Feel free to utilize drop-ins as well, if you think this is the case, since they can sometimes provide more immediate assistance, though this is not always guaranteed.

A Prerequisite Override is requested when you encounter a registration error because you have not met the required prerequisite or test score requirements for a course. Prerequisites are courses or requirements that must be completed or satisfied before enrolling in another course. A currently in-progress course may allow you to register for the next course in a sequence.

Before Submitting:

• Use DegreeWorks or Owl Express to verify that you have completed or are currently registered for the required prerequisite course(s).
• Confirm that the prerequisite course was completed or is being taken in a semester before the course you want to add.
• Verify whether you meet the required test score requirements, if applicable.
• Check for course substitutions: If you have an approved course substitution, verify that it is reflected in DegreeWorks, as substitutions may occasionally interfere with the registration system.
  • Feel free to utilize drop-ins as well, if you think this is the case, since they can sometimes provide more immediate assistance, though this is not always guaranteed.
• Check for Engineering Standing: If you have not applied for Engineering Standing, the system will restrict your ability to register for upper-level courses.

A Time Conflict Override is requested when two courses you want to register for have overlapping meeting times. Approval requires permission from the professors of both courses and review by the department.

---

Before Submitting:

1. Confirm Course Information: Verify the course code and CRN for both conflicting courses.

---

2. Obtain Professor Approval: You must obtain email permission from both professors teaching the conflicting courses before submitting your request.

---

3. Forward Confirmation Emails: Forward both professors’ approval emails to SPCEEToverrides@kennesaw.edu using the following subject line: Time Conflict Error: [Your First and Last Name] [Student ID Number]

---

4. Include Course Details: In the body of your email, list the course codes and CRNs for both conflicting courses.

---

5. Submit the Time Conflict Override Form: After obtaining both professors’ approval and forwarding their confirmation emails, complete the Time Conflict Override Form below. This ensures that the form submission and email confirmations are both received for review.

Important: You must obtain approval from both professors before submitting the form. Failure to follow these instructions may delay processing or result in your request being denied.

A Repeat Override is requested when you have exceeded the university's allowed number of attempts for a course. Withdrawals count as attempts.

---

Before Submitting:

• Use DegreeWorks or Owl Express to verify that you have attempted the requested course at least two times. Withdrawals count as attempts.
• Confirm that the course is taught by SPCEET. Courses offered by other colleges must be submitted to the respective college (See Above)

A Closed Course Override is requested when a course section is full and you are unable to register. These overrides are rarely granted and require departmental approval. You should be prepared to use an alternative section or adjust your schedule.

---

Before Submitting:

• Check DegreeWorks and Owl Express for alternative sections or courses that fit your schedule, including newly opened sections or seats.
• Record the CRN for the course you are requesting.
