Requisite Waiver

INSTRUCTIONS: WAIVING PREREQUISITE(S)

    1. Login to WebAdvisor at: https://webadvisor.lclark.edu
      1. Once you’ve logged in, choose the “Faculty” menu at the right.
    2. Choose the “Faculty (Self-Service)” link.
      1. You will be passed through from WebAdvisor to Self-Service.
      2. Your course sections (future, current and past) will be listed in Self-Service by semester, with the most recent (or future) semester at the top. Current and past semesters are below.
    3. Choose the course section that you wish to view by clicking on the link.
      1. This will bring you to your class roster.
    4. Click on the Permissions tab.
      1. You will be presented with two options. To waive prerequisites for an individual student, choose the Requisite Waiver button. (To find directions for providing Instructor Consent, or overriding restrictions, see instructions here.)
    5. Click on the Requisite Waiver button
      1. Using this option waives ALL required prerequisites. You do not have the ability to choose individual prerequisites.
      2. You do not have the ability to waive courses that are always required to be taken concurrently (such as a required concurrent lab course).

      3. Click on the Requisite Waiver button – you’ll see a list of students to whom you have already granted an override, a list of the required requisites, and a search field.

        1.  

          While the search function will ostensibly search on name, you are STRONGLY urged to use Student ID number. (The student file is so large that the search by name may not work optimally.) Ask the student for the ID number when the student requests an exception to add your course.
    6. When you enter the ID number in the search box, the student’s name will appear. If this is the correct student, click on the name.
    7. On the resulting “Add Student Waiver” screen:
      1. Choose “Approve”
      2. Unlike the Instructor Consent process, you must enter a comment. Please keep these comments professional. They are available to the student.
    8. Click on the “Save” button.
    9. You will receive a green “waiver added” notification in the top right corner of the screen; and you will see the student added to the list of students for whom you have waived prerequisite(s).
    10. To return to your roster, just click on the roster tab. (Or, to enter additional waivers, click on the blue “back to faculty permissions” link.)

    Please note - you cannot currently remove waivers that you have granted. If you need assistance during the add/drop period to revoke permission, please see information here.
