An override is a special permission granted to register for a course that is usually only given
for the reasons listed below. There may be circumstances other than those listed that
will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
An override for courses with acronyms BIOL, CHEM, ENVL, GEOL, MARS, MATH, PHYS, SUST can be requested on the NAMS website
under Contact Us > Registration Issues & Overrides > Override Form.
Overrides:
- You may request an override if:
- You are still waiting for transfer credits or test scores that satisfy prerequisite
requirements to be applied to your Stockton Degree Works.
- You are in the process of taking a prerequisite course at another institution.
- You have previously attempted a course with a corequisite where you received the required
passing grade in one course but did not receive the required passing grade or withdrew
from the other.
- You need to withdraw from a course that has a co-requisite course.
Exceeds Number of Attempts
You are allowed up to two attempts at a course without requiring an override. Consideration for a third attempt courses
with acronyms BIOL, CHEM, ENVL, GEOL, MARS, MATH, PHYS, and SUST, requires the NAMS Override Request Form to be completed, as well as an email documenting why you have exceeded the number
of attempts, what you will do differently with this attempt, and the rationale on
the need to repeat. The email should be sent to the Assistant Dean at nams@stockton.edu who will work with the respective program to determine if an override will be granted.
Closed courses/Waitlist
If you are unable to register for a course section because it is full, you can sign
up for the waitlist. To get on the waitlist, you will select “Waitlist” in the Action category in your summary and hit Submit.
Should a seat become available anytime between when you waitlist and the end of the
Add/Drop (5-day period starting with the first day of school), you will receive an
email. You will have up to 48 hours to act upon the notification (reduced to 24 hours during
Add/Drop week). If you do not act in a timely manner, your seat will be forfeited, and the waitlist
will move onto the next person. If you miss this waitlist, we cannot move you in above another student. You will have to act by adding yourself back onto
the bottom of the waitlist. **Waitlists do not exist for lectures with a co-requisite labs.**
Co-Requisite
Course required to be taken concurrently with another course. You must have both the
open lecture and open lab together in your summary of courses to add prior to clicking
submit, in order to register without a registration error.
**Waitlists do not exist for lectures with a co-requisite lab. Instead, you must put yourself on a lab waitlist. If a waitlist notification email
is received, you may then enroll in the lab and any open lecture. You may also request
an override to take one corequisite without the other ONLY IF it had been taken previously and received required passing grade at Stockton or another institution where you have received prior permission AND the credits are accepted by the university for the course.
If you face an issue claiming the waitlist seat offered to you, contact the NAMS Office or Registrar Office before the waitlist notification expires.
