The Wonderful World of Permission Numbers

1. The Wonderful World of Permission Numbers Traci Saige

2. Permission Numbers • Allow a student to enroll via self-service in a controlled enrollment/consent required course • Allow a student to enroll via self-service in a course even if they do not meet the requisite (course pre-requisite or restriction) • Allow a student to enroll via self-service in a closed course

3. Student Specific Permissions • Need to enter student’s ID number on the permission page for a class section. Student can automatically enroll via self-service; as the system recognizes that the student is eligible. • Permission is specific to that student; student cannot share their permission with another student. • Flag is set on the class section if going to use student specific permission numbers.

4. General Permissions • Can track in Campus Solutions when you issue a general permission number to a student • Permission number is not assigned to a specific student so student could give the number to someone else, but the number can only be used once • Student must enter permission number as one of the steps to enroll in the class via self-service • A list of general permission numbers can be set up a head of time so the faculty can distribute as necessary

5. Things to Think About… • Encouragement of Student Responsibility • Business Offices and Instructors do not have to wait for the form to be processed • Form does not get lost • All permissions are stored in the system of record • Saving Trees (less paper) • Comfortable level between enrollment distribution and centralized enrollment in the Registrar’s Office
