Permission to Add

Starting from the Priority registration through the Add/Drop period, you may petition for Schedule Conflict override using self-service on BroncoDirect Student Center. If you need permission to add a class for a closed class, instructor/department consent, and/or Requisite not Met, request a permission number from your instructor and/or department.

Use Permission to Add in BroncoDirect Student Center for:

• Schedule Conflict Override Petition

Request  a Permission Number from your Department for the following:

• Special Consent (Instructor or Department)
• Requisite Not Met

Request a Permission Number from your Instructor for the following-during Add/Drop period ONLY:

• Closed Class
  
  

Please Note: If you cannot register because BroncoDirect does not recognize your prerequisite and/or corequisite, please directly contact the Department that offers the course.

After the Add/Drop period, you may only add a class if extenuating circumstances prevent you from enrolling before the deadline. Prior to submitting the request, make sure to consult with your instructor and your department advisor. Some classes may not permit adding or late add. Course instructor and/or department approvals may be required.

Follow the Late Add Instructions (PDF) to submit a late add request after the add/drop period if this is due to extenuating circumstances. Note: Such requests for an exception to the academic policy and approvals require the course instructor, department chair, and supporting documentation. All requests to add classes must be completed (including all approvals) by the last day to enroll for the term. Please click the link: Important Dates & Deadlines.

Important Financial and Registration Reminders

Financial Aid Implications:

• Grant amounts are finalized based on enrollment as of the Add/Drop deadline.
• Aid is not recalculated for changes in enrollment after Add/Drop, unless the student fully withdraws (in which case a Return to Title IV calculation may apply).
• Most aid is prorated based on your enrollment at the time of disbursement.
• The Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships will lock your enrollment at the end of Add/Drop and adjust aid accordingly.
• New or initial aid packages after Add/Drop will be based on current enrollment.

Please consult with the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships (FAS) before submitting a late add request to understand how it may affect your financial aid package.

More information about Financial Aid Proration and Grant Recalculation can be found on our Financial Aid Policies page.

Tuition & Fee Implications:

• Late adds may result in additional tuition and fees depending on your adjusted enrollment level (e.g., part-time to full-time).
• Please consult with Student Accounting & Cashiering Services (SACS) at sacs@cpp.edu to understand any potential billing or payment implications before proceeding with a late add request.

LATE ADD GUIDELINES:

• Clear all registration holds before submitting a Late Add request. If a hold exists on your student record, the Registrar’s Office will be unable to process your request, and it may be denied.
• Be aware of potential financial impacts. Adding a course may change your enrollment status and result in additional charges to your student account. Review your account balance and payment due date in the BroncoDirect Student Center. For questions, contact Student Accounting and Cashiering Services at sacs@cpp.edu.
• Enter the correct class number (5-digit CRN) for each course you are requesting to add.
• Submission does not guarantee approval. Late Add requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

 Course Repeat and Enrollment Considerations

• Course Repeat (Undergraduate Students)
  If you are requesting to repeat a course after three prior attempts, or if you previously earned a grade of C or higher, you must clearly indicate this in the Justification section. A course repeat waiver may be required.
• Repeatable Courses (Graduate Students)
  Graduate students enrolling in repeatable courses should consult with their Graduate Coordinator prior to registering to ensure the enrollment aligns with program and degree requirements.

 Approval Routing Requirements

• After Add/Drop but before Census:
  Instructor → Department Chair → Registrar’s Office
• After Census (end of Week 4):
  Instructor → Department Chair → Associate Dean → Registrar’s Office
• After Week 12: 
  Late Add requests will not be accepted.
