Permission Numbers

Need instructor or department approval to enroll? Learn how to request permission here.

What are permission numbers (add codes)?

Permission numbers are needed to get into courses that have restricted enrollment. There are some specific reasons why you may need permission numbers:

You have met the prerequisites with transfer credit from another school, but your final official transcripts with grades for the course prerequisites are not yet showing in OASIS.
The department has placed "instructor consent" or "department consent" on a course.
The course is closed, AND/OR the instructor has explicitly granted permission to add. Please include the instructor's permission when submitting your request.

How do I request a permission number?

To request a permission number for your course, find your subject area below and email the relevant contact(s) using your CSUMB email account. Expect a response within 1 to 2 business days, though it may take longer during registration or the add/drop period.

Please plan ahead and submit your request early.
