Social Work MSW Permission Codes

Read prior to submission:

1. This form is only for campus Specialist area of focus courses. Submissions prior to registration opening at 12 noon on registration day or for course sections that are available without a perimission code will not receive a response. You may not request permission codes for non-Practice classes that use the waitlist function. You must list the course and section number (i.e., SW 6401-001), not the class number (i.e., 16601).
2. Course numbers SW 6630 - 6640, as well as all class sections above 099 in the range of 290’s, 730’s, and 830’s, are reserved for other cohorts. Students requesting these sections will not receive a response.
3. Online and Title IV-E students: Do not use this form. Registration information will be sent to you by your advisor.
4. Do not ask instructors for permission to add their class. Do not email College of Social Work staff for permission codes.
5. All responses will be sent to the requester's UMail.
6. Do not send multiple requests or follow-up emails; it will prolong the process
7. Students requesting their area of focus course have priority.  However, please know that it will take time for all code requests to come in, and for advisors to work through the requests. Please be patient.
8. Permission codes are single-use only. Do not share them.
9. Students are not guaranteed to receive a permission code for requested courses or sections. Advisors will work on alternate solutions with you if necessary. It is crucial that you ensure you:
   1. Qualify to take the course (On-campus Advanced Standing or 2nd year/dual degree MSW program status)
   2. Register for courses on time and request permission codes in a timely manner
10. Use the permission code within 2 weeks of your assigned registration date or you could lose your seat. If you are unable to use the code or enroll in a different Practice course or class section on your own, please contact mswpermission@utah.edu right away.
11. You may note acceptable course or section substitutions in the Notes section.
