Course Overrides

Course Approval Override Codes

Students who wish to enroll in restricted courses must obtain approval from the respective school or college, department, program, or instructor. Registration error messages will inform students of restrictions which may prevent them from enrolling in a course, such as if the course section requires instructor approval.

Faculty may assign overrides using MyUH Services.  An authorized representative may also assign overrides using Banner.

For descriptions of UH Mānoa course restrictions, visit Registration Errors & Overrides.

Enter UH Mānoa Overrides

Faculty may only enter an override code for courses in which they are listed as the primary instructor.  To assign a course override via MyUH Services, the student must provide you with his or her UH Number or UH Username.  You must only select override codes that are designated for UH Mānoa by choosing codes that begin with “Mānoa.”

Assigning an override grants permission for the student to register for a course.  It does NOT register the student into the course.  Please note that after you assign an override, the student may choose to not register for the course.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • You may have entered the wrong override code. You must select the appropriate override code that begins with “Mānoa.”

Advise the student to contact the Office of the Registrar about his or her student status.
