Time Conflict Permits
When two classes have an overlap or there is not at least 15 minutes between them,
a time conflict permit is needed. Sometimes more time between classes is required such as when a class meets in an off campus location and requires more travel time.
Print the
form and have both professors sign the form. You will need a department
stamp for each signature.
If there are two departments involved, the department who gives the second stamp
may issue the permit if you have not registered for either one. If you have already
registered for one class and are getting the permit so you can register for the
second class, then you must take the form to the department for the class for which
you have not registered. Departments cannot issue permits for classes in another
department.
Example 1: You registered for Cell Biology. Now you want to take Organic Chemistry
I and there is a time conflict. Have the Chemistry professor sign the form and then
the Biology professor. Go to SCA 203 Undergraduate Biology Office to obtain the
Biology department stamp. Then go the Chemistry office (CHE 205) to obtain the Chemistry
department stamp and the permit. Since you are asking for a permit to take the chemistry
class which has a conflict with your Cell Bio class for which you are already registered,
the Department of Biology cannot give you the permit.
Example 2: You registered for Organic Chemistry and you want to take Cell Biology
and there is a time conflict. Have the Chemistry professor sign the form and get
the Chemistry Department stamp. Then obtain the signature of the Biology professor.
Go to SCA 203 Undergraduate Biology Office to obtain the department stamp and the
permit. Since you are asking for a permit to take the Biology class which has a
conflict with your Chemistry class for which you are already registered, the Department
of Biology must issue the permit, not the Chemistry Department.
Please note, the Department of Biology rarely grants time conflict permits for labs
due to the strict attendance policy for labs.
