Overrides

Every week OSA provides the Office of Registrar with a list of applicants; in turn, the Office of the Registrar “flags” all applicants so that they can have automatic access to enroll in study abroad course sections.  Non-study-abroad students cannot enroll in these sections.  This process applies to both MSU and non-MSU students and alleviates the need for overrides.  Usual semester on-campus enrollment restrictions do not apply to summer courses unless your department/college has requested it.  If your courses have restrictions that you want removed for your program, contact Karen Tindall in the Scheduling Office.  Should you wish to limit enrollment due to majors, prerequisites, specific student populations, etc., you may request a list of participants and PIDs from OSA and provide this list to each sponsoring department to implement overrides.   The Office of Study Abroad cannot process overrides. 

All students must enroll in study abroad sections.  The only exception is for students who take an independent study course that exceeds the minimum number of credits for the program.
