About Overtally
Students interested in taking a course that is "closed" may request to be placed on a wait-list by the instructor. Permission to overtally can be given by the instructor only, not by the director, and overtallies must be completed using the Overtally Request Form below.
Recommended process
- Bring this form to the instructor of the course you want to overtally on the FIRST day when the class meets. (All classes and classrooms are listed online; check the Registrar's website.)
- It is at the discretion of the instructor to overtally you into his/her course. (There is always the chance the instructor will not honor your request.) If the instructor authorizes the overtally, have the instructor sign this form.
- Submit this SIGNED form to the department. If the department approves, we will post the overtally to your records.
- YOU are responsible for adding the course to your program. You must go onto CUNYFirst and add the course to your program. We do not register the course for you and do not notify you when/if the overtally has been posted. We only remove the block for a closed section. It will, however, hold a seat for you in a particular section.
- You are also responsible for any fees related to a change of program and/or late registration. This department will not waive any fees.
