• No overrides will be provided for 100-level classes.
  
  
• For all other courses offered through the School of World Studies, no overrides will be granted from the time registration begins through add/drop week. If a section is full, then students are encouraged to check VCU Schedule of Classes on a regular basis to see if seats become available.
  
  
• At the conclusion of add/drop week, and only at a professor's request, the SWS Advising office can provide an override as long as:
  
  
  1. the instructor requests the override in writing
     
  2. there is physical space in the classroom for an addition
     
  3. the override requested does not create a time conflict with another course the student is already registered for
     
  4. the override requested does not create a credit overload (above 19 credits). If so, student must obtain approval through respective department.
     
  5. the student does not have a hold on his/her account
     
     
• If you are a senior, and need a course to graduate, please contact the SWS Advising Office at: SWSAdvising@vcu.edu or (804) 827-1111

Important Note: Attending class on the first day of the semester does not guarantee an override! However, it is your opportunity to speak with the instructor about possibly being added to the class, should space become available.
