Dear Professor/Dr. ______,

Due to a time conflict with Subject ### – Title (CRN #####), I am unable to register for Subject ### – Title (CRN #####).

Notes regarding time-conflict overrides:

  • The Registrar’s Office will not process conflict overrides for music courses that conflict with non-music courses.
  • Unlike restriction and enrollment overrides, time conflict overrides result in students being automatically registered for both courses.
  • If your request is approved by the Registrar, you will receive an email confirmation from the Music Undergraduate Office that the course has been added. It is then your responsibility to check via DuckWeb that your registration is correct.

If you have further questions, please contact the Music Undergraduate Academic Advisor at ugradmus@uoregon.edu.
