Note: Our course schedule is subject to change, so visit Wolverine Access for updates. And for best results, read this information BEFORE you request an override.

For Stamps Majors

• For general information about degree requirements, registration and overrides, consult your Student Handbook.
• If you have a quick question, email AskanAdvisor@umich.edu. To schedule an appointment with an advisor, go to stamps.genbook.com.
• If a course or course section is closed, add your name to the waitlist. Overrides are issued daily and expire at midnight. Check your UM email daily if you expect an override. Scroll down below for more information on overrides. 
• ARTDES 170-189 are courses for non-majors. You will not receive graduation credit if you enroll in one of these courses.

For Stamps Minors

• Stamps minors must be officially declared to receive priority consideration for a seat in a course. If the course is not listed on your minor declaration, you probably will not get an override. If it is, you have a high possibility of getting it! Prospective minors should begin their exploration here.

• Graduate students who want to enroll in courses numbered 100-399 should attend the first class meeting and request an override from the instructor at that time. Graduate students who wish to take a 400-level course should contact the instructor to discuss their qualifications for the course.
