Advising Tips for EASy Requests

The Enrollment Authorization System (EASy) is used to streamline the process of requesting enrollment authorization. You may need to submit an EASy request in these cases:

• Prerequisite clearance
  • Requesting to enroll in a class for which you have not met the prerequisite.
  • You met the prerequisite via transfer credit or AP/IB credit but it is not yet posted on your Academic History.
• Class Level
  • Some courses require students to be upper division students (having earned 90 units to be Junior class level). If you have not yet reached Junior level, you would need to submit an EASy request for that course.
  • First-year seminars are restricted to first year students. If you are a first-year student with more than 30 units earned, you may need to submit an EASy request.
• Late adding classes (after week 2)
• Enrolling in graduate-level coursework (200-level)
• Enrolling in Special Studies courses (197, 198, 199)
• Requesting to take more than 22 units in a quarter

Submitting an EASy request does not guarantee that you will be allowed to enroll in the course. EASy requests require department and/or College advisor approval and may require instructor approval as well.
