Permission Number Process

Some of our courses require a permission number in order to enroll. Permission numbers only work for classes with open seats. They do not allow you to claim reserved seating, enroll in a course that's full, or join a waitlist that's full.

If you believe you need a permission number, please email the Statistics undergraduate advisor at undergrad@stat.umn.edu with the following information: 

1. Your name
2. Your student ID number
3. Course number (example: Stat 3701)
4. Three-digit section (Example: Section 002)
5. Explanation of why you need the permission number

Once we have received this information the department can issue you a permission number, if applicable.

If you are seeking a permission number because an instructor has agreed to let you join a class, such as in the second week of fall and spring semesters when their permission is required, please forward that permission to the statistics advisor. 

Please note: the School of Statistics does not control access to courses not offered by the School. If you are interested in a course outside of the "STAT" designator, please contact the department offering the course.
