Undergraduate Advising Forms

Enrollment Change Request (ECR)

Used to make registration requests after the deadline posted on the university Academic Calendar. Late add or course swap requests must include instructor permission for the course that a student is requesting to add. A completed ECR form and written permission from the instructor should be submitted by email to the SESE Academic Programs Office at seseforms@asu.edu.

Override request

Used when a student cannot enroll in class due to a prerequisite issue, instructor/department consent hold, time-conflict issue, or the course is full. Documentation of instructor permission for the override must be included.

IMPORTANT NOTE: SESE can only approve override requests for courses with an AST, GLG, or SES prefix. We are unable to approve overrides for any related-area math or science courses, even if they are required for your SESE major. Override requests for other subjects and prefixes must be submitted directly to the department/school offering the course.

Credit Overload

Typically, students are allowed to take up to 18 credits per fall/spring semester (9 per A/B session and 18 per C session) and 7 credits in each summer A/B session. Students may petition to take more than the allotted credits in a given semester by submitting a Credit Overload Petition. Forms should be submitted directly to the student’s academic advisor and must be submitted prior to the start of the session for which the overload is being requested. More information is available at https://thecollege.asu.edu/advising/forms.

Concurrent degree request

Interested in pursuing an additional degree? Concurrent degrees, sometimes called “double majors,” allow students to earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas, while pursuing their unique personal or professional interests. More information on The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences policies regarding concurrent degrees can be found at https://thecollege.asu.edu/resources/advising.

Complete session withdrawal

If you no longer plan on attending or completing your classes in a given session (A, B, or C), you can remove all of them from your current schedule by requesting a complete session drop/withdrawal up until the appropriate deadline. Students are strongly encouraged to speak with their academic advisor and review the additional information at https://students.asu.edu/drop-add before submitting this type of request.

Medical compassionate withdrawal (MCW)

MCW requests are for students who have encountered unforeseen medical or personal circumstances that have affected their academic studies. For more information on the eligibility requirements, process and documentation needed, please visit: https://thecollege.asu.edu/resources/medical-withdrawal.

3rd time petition

A third-time petition is needed for College of Liberal Arts and Sciences majors who would like to request permission to take a course for a third time. The form should be submitted to the SESE Academic Programs Office at seseforms@asu.edu no later than two weeks before the start of the semester.

Probation success plan

A probation success plan is required for students who have less than a 2.0 GPA and have a PROBATION notice on their account. The student will need to complete the probation success plan and schedule an appointment to meet with their advisor before any related registration holds are removed.
