Permission Number Application System

A Permission Number (PN) is a code used to override an enrollment restriction on a course. This code is issued by the school or department offering the course.

Please read the instructions on our enrollment resources site on how to submit a permission number request. There are specific approvals you need to obtain in order for your request to be approved. Incomplete requests will be denied.


The process and what to expect:

  1. You read the enrollment resources site to determine what permissions and information you need to submit a request.
  2. You request approval from the authorized instructor, department, or advisor, if applicable.
  3. You submit your online PN application by logging in below.
  4. SCI Academic Records reviews your request and if approved, generates a PN and sends it to your Pitt email address.
  5. You use the generated permission number to enroll in the course through the PeopleSoft/Highpoint enrollment system.


Students with questions and/or concerns regarding the permission code form may contact scirecords@pitt.edu.
