For undergraduate and graduate students in the quarter terms, the last day to add a course without a Permission to Add (PTA) number is the 10th day of instruction.
For the Department of Political Science: PTAs will not be issued until the 10th day of instruction (waitlist/add deadlines). Instructor approval is ALWAYS required for a PTA. The following are instances where a PTA will be considered, IF instructor approval is given and space/TA workload permit:
- Course must be a requirement for the major. Verification from major advisor required
- Student is a graduating senior, and no other course options are available. Verification from major advisor required
- Student was dropped from the courses due to an administrative error
- Student was dropped from the course due to non-payment, space permitting
- Variable unit course past the add deadline with instructor approval
Students will be required to be on the waitlist for the course for a PTA to be considered. Students must enroll in a full time (12 units) workload in case a PTA cannot be issued. Verification of the situations above will be required.
Please note: students who attempt to mislead their instructors and/or department staff about their situation in attempts to justify the need for a PTA may be referred to Student Judicial Affairs.
Students who feel they meet the criteria for a PTA should have their instructor email [email protected]. Our staff will confirm eligibility and space availability and issue a PTA if appropriate.
