Can my professor sign me into a class?
Commerce professors and instructors cannot register you in their courses. All students will be referred to the Undergraduate Office and asked to submit a request for registration assistance if they meet at least one of the valid criteria for a request. For courses other than Commerce, consult the faculty offering the course you wish to take to learn the correct procedure to request registration.
