Form Section Information

1. Student Information Table

The Student Information Table displays your current level and program information within Banner, please contact your advisor if any information is incorrect. Select the optional checkbox below the student information if a change of program has been submitted. You may review the status of your request at any time by clicking the Status Page link — circled below — within the Student Information Table.

2. Semester and Course Type Options

In order to select a course(s) for the request, you must first select a semester and the type of request to determine available options. You are encouraged to check Degree Works to identify the proper type of request:

• General Education
• Major Requirement
• Minor Requirement
• Override Request

Selecting the wrong type of request may yield unexpected results or prevent the selection of intended courses.

Tips:

• General Education courses appear in Degree Works with the GENERAL EDUCATION identifier within the major, minor or concentration blocks.
• Major Requirement courses are in the Degree Works block labeled by your current major, e.g., Major in Computer Science - BS.
  • If a major requires a concentration or emphasis area, those course requests would fall under this category.
• Minor Requirement courses are in the Degree Works block labeled by your current minor, e.g., Minor in Psychology.
  
  • If you have added an optional minor or concentration, those course requests would fall under this category.
• Override Requests are for courses you are unable to register for due to a registration error other than no seat remaining (class is full).

3. General Education Requests

General Education Requests are for courses marked as General Education within Degree Works, and the options link to course attributes in Banner for course filtering.

• You may select up to 3 gen ed course preferences.
• Preferences are optional and the request may be submitted without any specific gen ed course selections.
