Departmental Action
The Prerequisite Special Permission Report and Method of Meeting Prerequisites Report can be used as comprehensive reports to check prerequisite special permission for courses within your department. Departmental administrators can also view each course's Special Permission panel within the Offerings Planner to check prerequisite special permission.
In Progress UI Coursework
- For a course where prerequisite special permission status is indicated as In Progress UI Coursework, no further action is needed unless the student should not be dropped from this course.
- If student should not be dropped with this prerequisite permission, update the permission status to either Permanent or Met Proof – Provided.
Conditional-Proof Required
- Please review all submitted Proof of Completion forms and take the appropriate action.
- If approving satisfactory completion without the form, update the prerequisite permission to either Permanent or Met Proof – Provided via Offerings Planner or via the student's Special Permission panel.
Notification of potential prerequisite drops will be sent to students ten calendar days (seven business days) prior to the semester for those with Conditional – Proof Required special permission.
Once summer 2025 final grade processing begins on Aug. 13 at 5 p.m., students should not be given Conditional – Proof Required prerequisite permission as the process runs nightly. In place of this type of permission, please assign the student either Permanent or Met Proof – Provided permission to ensure they remain enrolled in the course. Assigning any other type of prerequisite permission results in the student being dropped from the course the following day.
Prerequisites for off-cycle courses (those not meeting the full semester) are evaluated three business days prior-to the start date of the course and may not need to be reviewed at this time.
If a student’s prerequisite permission is updated to Not Met during the prerequisite check or by other means, the department will need to remove the Not Met status and provide either Permanent or Met Proof – Provided for the student to re-enroll in the course, if space is available, or join the waitlist.
