Permission Key Number
A permission key number is the electronic signature of the course instructor that the instructor him/herself or the academic department designee provides a student in order to register for a course that is closed or is otherwise restricted making the course unavailable to the student.
The Permission Key Number is unique in that it is course and section specific.
- Each number can be used only once.
- Each number can be used only for the section of the course to which it was assigned.
Registering for a course online with a Permission Key Number is a two step process:
- Enter the Permission Key Number
- Register/Add the Class
When registering for a course online which requires a permission key number provided by the instructor:
- Go to www.brockport.edu
- Click on "Web Banner"
- Enter your User Id and PIN
- Click on "Student Services and Financial Aid"
- Click on "Registration"
- Click on "Permission Key Number"
- Enter the four-digit CRN (or course subject code, number and section) and the permission key number in the "Permission Key" field. (The CRN can be found to the far left of the course discipline (subject) code and number in the course listings for each department in the printed Schedule of Classes or in the “CRN” column to the far left of an online class search).
- Click "Submit Permission Key"
- If you have entered a valid permission key number, the message "You are now athorized to register for the course" will appear. This means that you are approved to register for the course.
- Then click "Back to Registration Menu" Link at the bottom of the page.
- Click "Registration/Add/Drop Classes"
- Enter the CRN in the "Add Classes Worksheet" box.
- Click "Submit changes" to register the course. The course will show as "web registered" on the current schedule table.
REMEMBER: The course is not automatically registered simply by entering the permission key number. You must go back to "Registration/Add/Drop Classes", enter the CRN and click "Submit changes" to register the course.
Please Note:
- If your Permission Key Number does not work, contact the instructor to be sure you have been given a valid Permission Key Number for the appropriate course and semester. The Office of Registration and Records does not give out Permission Key Numbers.
- Permission to enter any course that requires permission is a privilege. Instructors/Academic departments are not obligated to grant permission to individuals.
