Permission numbers allow you to enrol in classes that are restricted to you for a number of reasons. In order to obtain a permission number, please contact your academic advisor via email or in person. They will determine if you qualify for a permission number and generate it for you if you meet the criteria. 

You may require a PN to enrol because: 

- myStudentSystem does not recognize your transfer credit as the prerequisite
- You are taking a language course and must take a 200-level course due to high school prerequisites
- You wish to take a spot in a class that belongs to another reserve capacity

You must include the following information to request a permission number: 

1. Your full name
2. Your MacEwan ID Number
3. The term you are requesting a section for (e.g. Fall)
4. The course and section number you want to take (ENGL 102 AS01)
5. Your reason for requesting the permission number
