In order to request a closed class permit or a course permit override, you must obtain permission from the instructor and approval from the department. This can be done one of two ways:

1. Email the instructor of the course and request permission for permit giving a brief explanation of why the permit is being requested. If the instructor approves, forward the email approval to the following email address and include your name, G# , class, section, semester, and CRN: EMAIL  to [email protected] 

OR

2. Go online Banner and request a permit and wait for the email prompt which contains directions on what you will need to do. All gen. ed pre-req overrides must be done using the online system.

If the permit override is approved by the department, you will receive an email at your GVSU email address, prompting you to go ahead and register for the class. 

If you have any questions regarding the permit process, contact the Philosophy Department at this email address: [email protected]
