Closed Course and/or Prerequisite Waiver

The Closed Course and/or Prerequisite Waiver form is used by Department Chairs to either allow students to register for a closed class, without the prerequisites, or both.  The request is processed by the Registrar's Office and the student is notified via email.

You may overload multiple closed courses and/or waive prerequisites for the same student on one form. Prerequisite waivers do not require a section.

To submit a waiver, go to eDocs and click on the Chair Closed Class/Prerequisite Waiver Form in the Registrar section.

Note - you must be connected to Elon's network to access eDocs.  If you are off campus then you can VPN using the "Off Campus VPN" section of VPN Connections instructions.  Please read the VPN Frequently Asked Questions for information about connecting to VPN on your mobile device.
