Students must request an add authorization from an instructor to add a course after the class has begun. Students on a waitlist who have not been added by the start of the course will also need to follow these steps.

To request an add authorization, please follow the steps below or watch the included video.

1. Find the instructor’s email address

Instructor email addresses can be found by logging into your MyBC Self-Service portal by clicking on the course "section name" in the schedule of classes, or by searching in the campus directory.

2. Email the instructor from your Butte Student Email

Include the following in your email to the instructor:

• Name
• ID Number
• Course name
• Section number of course to be added
• Request for add authorization (use sample language below):

Hello (instructor name), my name is (your name), ID number (your student ID number), and I am writing to request an add authorization to your course (insert course name), section (insert section number). Thank you.

3. Wait for a confirmation email

The instructor will email you to confirm that they have authorized you to add their course.

4. Register for the course in MyBC Self-Service

Upon receiving an email confirmation, the student must register for the course in Self Service before the add deadline.

5. Watch the video

The included video provides step-by-step instruction on requesting an add authorization to register for classes. 

6. Questions?
   

Contact admissions@whbimu.com or call (530) 895-2511 if you have further questions about the add authorization process.

There may be various reasons why you are unable to register after receiving confirmation that you have add authorization to add a course:

• Check your hold notifications in your self-service account to make sure all your holds are cleared.
• You may be trying to register for a different section than the one the instructor authorized for you. Please check your "Petitions & Waivers" tab in the "Schedule, Register and Drop Classes" section of your self-service to verify the course you have been authorized to add.
• If you do not see a course listed in the "Petitions & Waivers" tab, you have not yet been granted add authorization. Please reach back out to the instructor.
• If you had this section planned in your schedule before you received add authorization, you will need to delete it and then readd it.
  
  

Email the instructor and ask to be reinstated into the course. If they approve, they will email admissions@whbimu.com with your name, student ID number, and the course information and ask to add you back into the class. 

Do not attempt to readd yourself with add authorization in this case- add authorizations are to be used once for your original registration. After that first use, instructors must request a reinstate via email.
