Additionally, class permission codes will be required starting tomorrow, January 18th!πŸ“£ If you’re hoping to add a class to your schedule without hassle, make sure to do so by the end of today! Permission codes are given out by instructors on a case-by-case basis. If you believe you have a special circumstance, you can reach out to the professor.

Please note that permission codes are not guaranteed, and will likely not be given in order to skip the waitlist. Also keep in mind that permission codes will not override schedule conflicts (ie. if the class time overlaps with another one of your classes), nor will it override maximum unit limits or closed discussion sections.
