Certificate of Exclusion for Subsequent Enrollment in a Previously Overcrowded Course

A student who has attempted in good faith to enroll in a lecture course but who has been prevented by overcrowding from doing so may claim a priority for enrollment in the course the next time the course is offered by the same instructor by securing the instructor's signature on a Certificate of Exclusion from an Overcrowded Course. A copy of this certificate may be obtained from the office of the residential college dean. It must also be signed by the college dean and will be retained for the student by the college dean. When the course is next offered, the student may retrieve the certificate from the college dean and present it to the instructor of the course. A Certificate of Exclusion may be issued only because of overcrowding; it may not be issued because a particular section of a course is filled when there is room in another section of the course; it may not be used to claim admission to any particular section of the course; it may be employed only at the next time that the course is offered, and not subsequently; it is not applicable to courses in which enrollment is determined by audition or other evaluation of the student's work; and it is not transferable.
