  2. Forward the approval(s) to registrar@csusm.edu. Please submit all the information in one email. Requests with all the required information will be expedited during the early enrollment period. 
    • For CoBA students, if you are qualified to enroll in the class, an advisor will submit your enrollment approval to registrar@csusm.edu on your behalf.

The email subject should include the Course number, "Pre-req waiver" and Enrollment Appointment/Time (e.g. HD 302 Pre-req Waiver April 14, 8am). In the body of the email please include the following:

*Please note that approval to override prerequisites does not indicate permission to occupy a seat in the course (permission numbers are required beginning the second week of the semester and for courses that require instructor consent). Likewise, a permission number does not indicate prerequisites have been met. Only the faculty of record or designee may waive prerequisites.
