University Scheduling Permissions and the Consent Process Department Consent Any class identified as Department Consent remains Department Consent through the End of Add/Drop. Permissions will not appear in the instructor’s portal.

University Scheduling Permissions and the Consent Process No Consent Any class identified as No Consent ‘flips’ to Instructor Consent on the Friday before classes start. Permission numbers will be system generated (40% of enrollment capacity) and will appear in the instructor’s portal the next day (the Saturday before classes start. After permission numbers are system generated, Departments have the opportunity to review them and make changes before they are pushed to the instructor’s portal.

University Scheduling Permissions and the Consent Process Permission numbers automatically generated for No Consent classes. Permissions numbers default to verify that registration controls/requirements have been met prior to successful enrollment. Permission numbers default to allow the class limit to be overridden. We are asking Departments to assist us with preventing over-enrollment in the classes.

University Scheduling Permissions and the Consent Process Independent Study Classes – example of what others are doing Some departments code these classes so permissions will push to the instructor’s portal. Create several sections of the independent study class. Print the first section as “Staff” with Department Consent. Remaining sections are No Print and No Consent. When students contact the department for permission to enroll, you can immediately provide a class number for the appropriate instructor. When the consent flag ‘flips’ the day before classes start, No Consent classes change to Instructor Consent, and the instructor assigned to the class can access the permission numbers in their portal.
