Permission Numbers and Enrollment Permission

What is a permission number?

A permission number is a special key that allows you to bypass a problem that is blocking your enrollment in a particular course. You may need a permission number if:

  • enrollment in a class is by permission only,
  • you have not satisfied a prerequisite, or
  • the class has already reached its enrollment limit.

Permission without a number

Many units are now assigning permission for you to enroll on My.Butler by entering your name in an approved list. When this happens, you do not need to enter the special number; just enroll in the class as you would any other, and the system will know you have been given permission.

How do I get permission?

Permission numbers and enrollment permission are managed by instructional departments or the colleges. Check below for who to call for the subject you want to take. Select the college which offers the class:

Core Curriculum
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
College of Education
College of Business
College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences
Jordan College of the Arts
College of Communication

What do I do with a permission number?

Once you are issued a permission number, you can enter it in Add a Class. Select the specific section, and enter the permission number before you click next. Permission numbers are different for each class and for each semester, and may be specifically assigned to a student. If your permission number is rejected, return to the issuer and see if the correct course and semester were used. If the issuer cannot resolve the problem, call Registration and Records at (317) 940-9203.
