Graduate Forms
Course Enrollment Permission Form
Student: Before beginning, contact the instructor and obtain verbal or email permission to enroll in a course. Agree upon the course number (e.g., STAT 6193), instruction mode and credit hours.
1. Student: Identify the class number for the course (if you do not already know it)
a. Visit the Course Catalog and Master Schedule and search for the course number (e.g. “STAT 6193”). This search will return many results, including courses that do not match your search.
b. Locate the class with your instructor and instruction mode. One strategy is to use your web browser to search for your instructor's name. If you are sure the class does not exist, contact Jean Scott (scott.961@osu.edu).
c. Make sure you choose the correct course (e.g. STAT 6193) and instruction mode (In-person, Distance Learning (online), or Hybrid). Write down the 5-digit number in parenthesis. This is the class number that you need to complete the course enrollment permission form.
2. Student: Use the Powerform to initiate the Enrollment Permission Form. Complete all required fields. When you finish completing the form, press the “FINISH” button. Your form will then be routed to the instructor email address that you provided. If you enter your instructor’s email address incorrectly, they will not receive the form and you will not be enrolled.
3. Instructor: Review and take action. Open the form in Docusign using the link provided by email. Double-check that you wish to give permission for this student to enroll in the course number, class number and number of credit hours indicated on the form. If so, then complete and sign the form. Once completed, press the “FINISH” button. If you do not wish to give permission for this student to enroll in the course, select “Decline to Sign” through Docusign and follow up with the student.
After an instructor signs, the completed form will automatically be routed to the registrar for processing, and both the student and instructor will receive a copy for their records.
