- The department uses electronic Wait lists. They strongly encourage students to use the wait lists. While the wait list does not guarantee a spot in the course, it makes it very likely. If overrides are granted, they are granted strictly on the order of the wait list, with the exception of graduating seniors who need a specific course to graduate.
- ECN 101 and 102 will use rolling caps in order to reserve seats. Contact the Chair if you need to request an override into a closed section of ECN 101 or 102. In most cases, it is not possible to increase the course size due to classroom capacity.
- There are several asynchronous online sections of ECN101 and ECN102 that are for PharmD, USci legacy, and Lancaster Nursing students only. The department cannot override this restriction for students in other programs.
- If you are requesting an override for an upper division course (ECN 301 or above), please request permission from the instructor and cc the department chair. Instructor approval is necessary to be considered for a spot in a closed course, but does not guarantee that you will get a spot in a closed course.
- If you are requesting an override for an upper division course due to pre-requisite restrictions, please contact the department chair.

Important notes about Override Requests
- Students requesting overrides should email Gregory Spano, Administrative Assistant (gspano@sju.edu) and Dr. Jason Mezey, Chair (jmezey@sju.edu)
- Some courses will utilize electronic waitlists. Capacity overrides for English courses are rare.
- Before students request a capacity override for a course they should first check to see if they can add themselves to an electronic waitlist.
