Please read all of the information below fully BEFORE requesting a permit. Thank you.

Policies for ALL Graduate Courses

At this time, all courses, with the exception of CETL 8713 and CETL 8717, are pass/fail and credit hours
may not be counted toward any degree requirements.
All courses require a permit to be issued by CETL.
To pass a course (receive an “S”), a student may miss no more than 20% of the classes in a given semester.
If you have a heavy travel schedule or a full schedule, consider taking the course during another semester.
Attendance on the first day of classes is mandatory unless you have permission from the course instructor.
ONLY request a permit for courses for which you meet the stated course prerequisites or requirements.
Students may request a permit for up to one (1) Communication Course (for Fluent OR Non-fluent English
Speakers) AND up to one (1) Teaching Course PER semester.
AUDITS OR OVERLOADS ARE NOT ALLOWED, so please don't ask!

Permit Process and Timelines

CETL receives a large volume of permit requests and all permits are processed manually by a person (not automatically and immediately by a computer) . Permits are processed in the order they are received and take up to 2 business days.

8801 ITA: First priority given to graduate students who will be a TA with instructional responsibilities (leading a recitation, discussion or laboratory section).

Native/Fluent English Communication Courses (8721 & 8741):
Students must complete both a CETL graduate courses permit request for SUMMER 2013 or FALL 2013 AND a separate 8721/8741 questionnaire (for permission from the course instructor).

8713:
Students must complete both a CETL graduate courses permit request for FALL 2013 AND a separate 8713 questionnaire (for permission from the course instructor). Permit may be requested at any time. Permits will be issued in two priority groups.
Priority I: Some graduate students have priority based on the conditions of the Tech to Teaching grant these courses are a part of. Priority will also be given to those students closest to graduation. These students will be given a permit prior to the opening of Phase II for Fall 2013.
Priority II: All other students will be issued permits during Phase II and have until the end of Phase II to register for the course (space permitting).
