Beginning with Spring 2024 course registration, the department will no longer be utilizing the registrar’s waitlist system, nor will we be accepting force requests.
Seats will be released in increments during Pre-registration to allow each priority group/classification a chance to register in classes prior to Open Registration. If you are unable to secure a seat during your Preregistration time, you may look for an available seat once Open Registration begins.
Pre-registration assignment times can be found in your Howdy portal. You may refer to Aggie One Stop for more information about registration times and dates.
Please do not contact the department or our advisors to ask for a force request or how to enroll on a waitlist.
Overrides
If you need an override to register for a course, you must first complete the request form below.All override requests will be processed during Open Registration and students will be notified via their “@tamu.edu” email. It is important to understand that the submission of an override request does not guarantee enrollment in the requested course. Override approvals are subject to various factors, including course capacity, prerequisites, and departmental approval.
Override Policies: We do not provide prerequisite overrides for courses in progress at other institutions. You must be able to provide an unofficial transcript with a final grade in the course to receive a prerequisite override. The transcript must include your full name, the institution’s name, the course name & number, and the final grade. We will not provide the override if any of this information is missing.
We do not provide prerequisite overrides if the prerequisite course is not on your degree plan. For example, if you need to take BICH 410 but your degree plan doesn’t require CHEM 228 (Organic Chemistry II), you must still complete CHEM 228, with no exceptions. Most BICH/GENE courses have Classification restrictions (U3/U4 only). If you have a legitimate need to take a course that has a CLASS restriction, you will need to complete the override form linked below.
