Prerequisite Overrides

Spring 2025 Prerequisite Override Request [Google Form]

Fill out the above form for your desired semester to request a prerequisite override for a math course from the math department if you receive a 'Prerequisite Not Met' error when trying to register for a class in eServices and you believe that you have met the prerequisite.

We are aware of the issue with MATH 310 prerequisites and request that students receiving a 'Prerequisite Not Met' error when trying to register for the course fill out the above form and select 'Other' for the reason for submission.

Waitlists

The waitlist system is used for students to be admitted to courses that are currently full. When a seat opens in a full course the first student on the waitlist will have 24 hours to add the course to their schedule before the seat is offered to the next student on the waitlist.

Please note that the Office of the University Registrar deactivates the waitlist at 11:59 p.m. approximately three business days prior to the start of the add/drop period for each semester. See the Waitlists webpage for further details regarding waitlists and email math@vcu.edu with any questions. 

Online Courses

Seats in our online math 100 level courses are reserved for students enrolled in VCU Online programs. Students not in a VCU Online program should ask their academic advisor to contact the math department at math@vcu.edu to request enrollment in an online course. The math department will review these requests closer to the start of the spring semester. We cannot guarantee seat availability and recommend that students register for another section that fits their schedule in the event that these seats do not open up.
