General contact information
Prerequisite Override Permissions and Departmental Process
Faculty MAY NOT APPROVE these requests from students:
- Enrollment into a closed/full class section
- Enrollment using a seat reserved for a specific population (i.e. SOLS-only majors, Barrett Honors students, online students only, etc.); these are always listed on the Class Search
Faculty MAY SUPPORT these requests from students:
- Enrollment with missing prerequisite or corequisite courses (non-SOLS majors only)
- Enrollment after the add/drop deadline
Faculty should refer any student requesting a course override to SOLS Undergraduate Programs academic advising and indicate support for the student’s request.
- Email: [email protected] for Tempe immersion/on-campus students or students enrolled in iCourses
- Email: [email protected] for ASU Online students
Undergraduate Programs will review the request and render a final decision. If needed, an Assistant Director for Academic Advising (Undergraduate Programs) may follow up with the faculty member regarding the request.
Grade changes
For assistance with incomplete grades, grade changes or initiating academic record changes contact Student Services Coordinator Jillian Griffin or (480) 727-6277.
Information about all ASU grading options, including Incomplete and Y grades, as well as grading changes can be found on the University Registrar's Grades and Records page.
- The Incomplete Grade Request is a strongly suggested contract for the instructor and student to complete when agreeing on an Incomplete grade.
- Y grades are at the discretion of the instructor. If faculty will be giving students the grade option of Y (Satisfactory), the terms of the Y option should be explained clearly in the syllabus. SOLS considers the Y grade option on a case-by-case basis when students request it.
- A Y grade is considered to be the equivalent of a C or above. Merely passing with a D does not merit a grade of Y. The Y grade option should not be referred to as “pass/fail.”
- Additionally, the Y grade does not impact GPA. The Y grade may or may not be accepted by professional/graduate schools. Students may not repeat a course that they earned a Y grade in, and they may not revert the Y grade to the true earned letter grade after the Y grade has been posted.
The university policy for academic record changes is documented in the Student Services Manual section SSM 203-02: Academic Record Change.
Medical/compassionate withdrawal
Medical/compassionate withdrawals are available for students needing to withdraw from one or more classes due to a serious illness, injury or other significant personal situation. Medical/compassionate withdrawals require relevant and detailed supporting documentation for consideration. Approval is at the discretion of The College and there is no guarantee a request will be approved. More information about requesting a medical/compassionate withdrawal can be found on The College's Medical and compassionate withdrawal page.
