If you are telecasting an undergraduate course, please note that the enrollment for the Silicon Valley section of this course will be set to 0 and students can only enroll by permission code only. There have been issues in the past with undergraduate students signing up for the SVC section, not realizing these sections are in SVC, so we want to avoid this problem.

If you currently are telecasting your course and will not be needing video conference equipment for a single class (i.e. during a midterm) please be sure to email instruct@rt.soe.ucsc.edu at least 2 days in advance, so we can inform the distance learning group.

A class permission number overrides course restrictions/prerequisites and/or overrides the closed (full) status of a class.

Class permission numbers cannot override time conflicts, maximum allowed units, holds, or a closed (full) discussion section.

During the wait list period, instructors are encouraged to give permission codes to students who they feel are qualified to take their course, but do not meet prerequisites.  A permission code that overrides prerequisites will only allow a student to get on a wait list if a course is full.  It does NOT allow a student to jump in front of others on the wait list.  Instructors are DISCOURAGED from using permission codes that override course capacity and therefore, must receive department approval for this.  If you give a student a permission code, you must be clear to the student about what it will do.  

Instructors of courses which are not "wait-list eligible" can, upon request, be issued permission codes that override both unmet pre-requisites and class capacity as before. However, to increase class capacity, instructors must first receive approval from their Department Chair, since additional resources (TAs, readers, etc.) and/or larger classrooms may not be available. 

If a permission code is needed to override pre-requisites, the student will need permission codes for both the lecture and lab.  If a permission code is needed to override a closed lecture, but there are still open lab sections- students will be able to enroll in any open lab without a permission code once they use the code to enroll in the closed lecture.  

Email instruct@rt.soe.ucsc.edu to request permission codes.  Please note- If you intend to go over your projected enrollment, instructors must first receive approval from their Department Chair, since additional resources (TAs, readers, etc.) and/or larger classrooms may not be available. 

No, permission codes cannot override time conflicts.  Instruct your student to try and resolve the problem by swapping into a different secondary lab, section, etc. offered at a different time.  If this is not possible, upon your approval, issue the student a permission code and have the student contact the Office of the Registrar at (831) 459-4412 directly, with the permission code, explaning the situation. They can override any time conflict a student has if they let them know they have worked it out with the instructor and have been issued a permission code.

No, permission codes will not allow Silicon Valley Extension students to enroll.  Extension students must use Open Campus to enroll in UCSC courses.  For detailed information, please see: http://www.ucsc-extension.edu/content/open-campus-0.
