Instructor Permission
Soon all students will have had an opportunity to register for summer and fall 2003
courses through the SABRE Student System. Historically, about 70 percent of eligible students would have registered by this time, and that percentage has remained consistent through the transition to online registration.
Many students are waiting to hear from faculty regarding special permission. Roughly 120
instructors are teaching 300 to 400 classes that require instructor permission for
registration, but instructors have acted on only 58 percent of these courses. Faculty members are urged to respond to these students before the semester's end.
