What is an exception to register for a course?
- Sometimes students have special situations where they need to add a course that is already full or may qualify to take a course without the need to take the listed prerequisites or requirements. In these cases, you may request an exception to add a course.
What situations would qualify for an exception?
If you have one of the following situations you could request an exception to add a course. Please note, that you may meet the qualifications for an exception, but you are NOT GUARANTEED to receive an exception.
- The last course needed for Graduation
- Transfer credits meet the prerequisites
How do I make the request?
ON-CAMPUS or VIRTUAL LIVE COURSES
- If you need an exception for a Campus Course that you do not qualify for, you will need to contact the instructor of that section directly. The instructor can create an override for you to be able to add the class, however, you still have to manually add the class to your account. You can find contact information for campus instructors using the BYUI Employee Directory.
- All of these authorizations are given to students individually per section by the instructor of the course if it is a DAY class. Students who are waiting for approval for their course authorization need to contact their instructor.
ONLINE COURSES
- If you are needing an exception for an Online Course that you do not qualify for, you will need to submit a request for an exception:

- This does not guarantee that you will be given access to add the course, but you will be evaluated based on your need and qualifications for the course and will receive a response about your request within 7 business days. (Online instructors CANNOT approve or add students to their courses.) You can also contact the BYU-Idaho Support Center at (208) 496-1411 to obtain a Course Authorization form.
- If you are having technical issues accessing the Course Authorization request form, try clearing your cache using the How to Clear the Cache and Cookies article. If that doesn't solve the issue, wait 24 hours and try again. If that doesn't help, please contact Technology Support using the IT Contact Us page.
*When students are granted any authorization, an automatic email is sent to the student’s school email with details about the authorization and how to register for that class. Unless the authorization is voided by the instructor, course authorizations are not time-limited and last the entire semester.
Internships
-
For updates about an internship, students will need to contact the Internship & Career Services Office. See the
Internship webpage for their contact information.
Accidentally Dropped a Class
- If you have accidentally dropped a course, fill out the Reinstate Course Request form.
- NOTE: If you dropped the course more than 24 hours ago, then you will need to get approval to be reinstated by the instructor before filling out the form. This applies to both online and on-campus students.
- Pathway Worldwide students will need to talk to a Pathway advisor to be reinstated into their courses.
