Permission Numbers

Summer Session manages all the permission numbers in summer.  We distribute permission numbers based on each course's needs and requirements.  Since we have full-time staff all summer, we are happy to manage this process.

With over 400 classes and lots of issues like prereqs, holds on student accounts, non-UCSC visitors, time conflicts, overriding restrictions, the accuracy of billing, and much more, it is dire that we manage the enrollment issues here in our office.

If students can't add a class:

• This often reveals bigger or more complex issues, like time conflicts, unmet prerequisites, financial holds, inactive student status, and/or expired prerequisites.
• They may be ineligible to take a class due to uncompleted prereqs, holds on their account, etc. which requires investigation and collaboration with other offices.
• Prerequisites may have been completed elsewhere. If so, we need to get transcripts and work with advisers to verify them. 

Please forward messages and students to summer@ucsc.edu. Include your approval, if that is part of the issue.
