Processing for Overrides, Prerequisite Waivers, and Restriction Waivers
1. Prerequisite Form (green)
A prerequisite waiver request or a restriction waiver request is made by completing the corresponding form, which can be found at my.marist.edu, Student tab/Student Resources/Forms. You may then send the form to the Academic School for this course in an email that contains the reasons why you are seeking the waiver. The School will notify you of the decision. If approved, the School will send the approved form to the Registrar's Office for processing. The Registrar's Office must activate the exemption. Once that is done, you will be notified by the Registrar and you will then need to go into Banner Self-Service to register yourself for that course. You should submit these forms as soon as possible.
2. Over-ride Form (yellow)
If a course has reached its maximum enrollment, you may request an over-ride on a yellow Over-ride form. This form can be found at my.marist.edu, Student tab/Student Resources/Forms. You may then send the form over to the academic school for this course requesting an over-ride. The school will then notify you of the decision. If approved, the school will send the approved form to the Registrar’s Office for processing. The Registrar’s Office will over-ride you into the course. Once that is done, you will be notified by the Registrar and may check your schedule. You need to make sure you have room in your schedule for the change and that you do not exceed 16 credits if you are not intending on taking more.
3. Major/Minor/Concentration/Level/Class Restriction Permit Form (pink)
A restriction may appear when registering for a course, if so, you may request a Major/Minor/Concentration/Level/Class Restriction Permit Form. This form can be found at my.marist.edu, Student tab/Student Resources/Forms. You may then send the form to the Academic School for this course in an email that contains the restriction that appears when registering for the course. The School will notify you of the decision. If approved, the School will send the approved form to the Registrar's Office for processing. The Registrar's Office must activate the exemption. Once that is done, you will be notified by the Registrar and you will then need to go into Banner Self-Service to register yourself for that course. You should submit these forms as soon as possible.
**After submitting your forms, sign out of your Banner Self-Service account so that the Registrar’s Office can process your requests, if approved. Registrar is not able to process these forms if you are signed into your account. **
** You may also bring in any green and/or pink restriction forms to the Registrar's Office as soon as you have recieved approve (i.e. the signatures of the instructor and the Department chair or Dean, and the school stamp). This will ensure that those holds will be removed, enabling you to register. Also yellow overrides can be dropped off at the Registrar's Office. Yellow override forms will NOT be accepted until the beginning of registration.

To be considered full-time during the regular academic year (fall and spring semesters), students must register for a minimum of 12 credit hours. For most full-time students, the recommended academic load per semester is 15 credit hours so that they can reach the graduation requirement of 120 credits during the course of a four-year period -- the typical undergraduate experience. During the academic year, a student may elect to attempt a maximum of 18 credit hours each semester, but such a heavy load is not recommended. Students are advised to leave themselves enough time to prepare adequately for all of their courses and to engage in other activities on campus. Each credit taken over sixteen per semester is charged an additional fee at a per-credit-hour rate. To register for more than 18 hours in a single semester, a student must obtain the permission from The Center for Advising and Academic Services at Advising@Marist.edu.
The maximum number of credits for which a student may register during the January intersession is three; during the summer, a student may register for a maximum total of nine credits distributed over all Marist summer sessions. Exceptions can be made by the Center for Advising and Academic Services.
If you are NOT a part-time student and your schedule does not add up to at least twelve credits, be sure to see your advisor immediately so that he/she can help you add courses necessary to bring you up to full-time status. You must be full-time to qualify for most types of financial aid and for housing. You may be removed from housing if you do not meet the enrollment requirements. It is also important to be full-time for billing purposes.
If you need to add course-work to round out your schedule or if you wish to drop a course, you should review your audit, make additional selections, and see your advisor for review.
If you have forgotten your Marist Account information, the Helpdesk, at helpdesk@Marist.edu can assist you.
