Permission Number Application System


A permission code is a number that overrides the enrollment system, allowing you to add a course to your schedule. It tells the system you are allowed to enroll in that course, even when the system doesn't have all the information it needs to allow you to enroll otherwise.

Please read the instructions on how to submit a permission number request. There are specific approvals you need to obtain in order for your request to be approved. Incomplete requests will be denied.


The process and what to expect:

  1. You read the linked instructions (above) to determine what permissions and information you need to submit a request.
  2. You request approval from the authorized instructor, department, or advisor, if applicable.
  3. You submit your online permission number request by logging in to the site (below) with your Pitt credentials.
  4. SCI Academic Records reviews your request and if approved, generates a permission number and sends it to your Pitt email address.
  5. You use the generated permission number to enroll in the course through the PeopleSoft/Highpoint enrollment system.


Students with questions and/or concerns regarding the permission code form may contact scirecords@pitt.edu.
