HRLR 311 Override Request Form for Summer Semester
Complete this form ONLY if you plan to take HRLR 211 AND 311 in a Summer term
HRLR 211 is a prerequisite for HRLR 311. The new enrollment system does not differentiate between Summer session 1 and Summer session 2. It treats both sessions as the same semester.
In other words, the system does not recognize that you have satisfied the prerequisite. An override will need to be processed on your behalf.
If you plan to take both HRLR 211 and 311 in a Summer semester, you need to enroll in HRLR 211 for Summer session 1 AND submit the following form to be enrolled into HRLR 311 for Summer session 2.
If you have questions, please reach out to HRLR Undergraduate Advisor Matt Hahnenberg at hahnenb2@msu.edu.
