You can then send an email to that student to notify them that they are able to request the course. Permissions should be given during the two-week academic planning period before registration week.

Working List- To help you organize courses that you might like to monitor. General Advice for Working with Students Using the New System The Academic Planning period is two full weeks before Registration Week.  During this time you should help your advisees build a schedule AND help them determine a reasonable plan of alternatives using their working list. Students may move courses to their working lists at any time, but need to be cleared by you in APR to move courses to Registration Requests.  The system will check for some common errors (e.g., time conflicts, permission required, too many units) and prevent a student from requesting a course that causes one of these errors.  However, the system cannot check for all errors (for example, missing prerequisites or a required lab), so students will need to check that they are proposing appropriate schedules. Students need to know that they should complete their Registration Requests by the deadline prior to web registration week so that our review of course demand is as accurate as possible. Every student cleared to request courses before their registration window will be able to register for four or five registration runs.  They should monitor their status diligently during this period to maximize the number of opportunities for filling a schedule. Instruct them to view My Registration Results to see the results of their registration. When the requests for a student have been processed, the results will be available on the web (approximately a half hour after the batch run starts).  Please remind students to check My Registration Results to see the status of their courses. Students should not rely on checking the course status in the Registration Request list except to drop a course in which they were assigned as an alternate course, or request another course. Any student who registers later in the week should still monitor the status of their choices. If the open seats in a requested course are gone before their registration batch runs, the course should be moved out of the Registration Request list and a substitute course (with open seats) moved up. Instructors and department/program chairs who have restricted seats or may have a close-out problem should monitor those courses throughout the Registration Week.  Additional seats can be added or restrictions lifted (for example, after all majors have been processed) at any time during the week. If a student is not able to obtain a compete schedule during his/her allotted registration runs, a special registration session on Friday afternoon will take place with advisors.
