Electronic add/drop permissions

Overrides to get into a class and permissions to drop a class must be approved by the appropriate person as laid out in university policy. For adds, refer to the add/drop/change of schedule policy. For drops, refer to the individual class withdrawal policy. In lieu of electronic permission, paper forms can be picked up in the Records and Registration Office, 117 Graff Main Hall. 

The "at least one override must be selected" message:

The most common error message on class permission page

If you get this message and you know you set up the permission correctly (at least one checkbox must be selected for an add permission), try going out of the screen to another part of WINGS, going back into the page, and redo-ing the permission. The system can sometimes be slow to save your changes and if you click off the page before the permission is fully saved, WINGS gets confused and won't let you continue. If this method doesn't work, please contact the Records Office.

Questions on how to use WINGS can be directed to Victoria Rahn in Records and Registration, vrahn@uwlax.edu or 785.8579.
