Restrictions Listed by Econ Course
In order to provide declared Economics, Econometrics, and CS+Econ Majors with courses to fulfill their degree requirements, we allow them to have Priority Registration. Restrictions are placed on advanced Econ courses to ensure that majors/minors can access courses and to ensure that course prerequisites are met.
- ECON 102 &103: Not restricted for the Spring semester (only in Fall to accommodate incoming students).
- ECON 202 & 203: Never restricted.
- ECON 302: Never restricted, but prerequisites of Econ 102 and Calculus I are required.
- Students who have credit for Math 220/221/234 on their UIUC transcript meet the prerequisite for Econ 302.
- Students who meet the Calculus prerequisite but it is not yet reflected on their transcript (for example, took Math 220 elsewhere and have not yet transferred it in, or earned AP credit for Math 220 but the score has not been submitted yet to UIUC) can email econug@illinois.edu to request an override. Please attach a screen shot showing a passing grade or AP score for a Calculus I equivalent.
- ECON 198: Always restricted. No overrides provided.
- ECON 303: Always restricted. Exceptions listed below.
- ECON 400's: Always restricted. Exceptions listed below.
However, we do allow certain student groups and majors access to Econ courses as outlined below. Please read below for specific date information. All restrictions are removed manually and we are unable to guarantee an exact time classes are available. If you do not fall into a category below, you can complete our Spring 2024 Override Request form for consideration from January 8 to January 11 at 12:00 pm (noon).
