Step 2 - Department Contacts

Now that you have collected each course’s department and college, you may email them to review your transcripts and provide you with an override for your course.

You will have to email each Department Chair individually if your course is owned by:

• College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CASSH),
• College of Education and Professional Studies (CEPS),
• Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering, and/or the
• Usha Kundu, MD College of Health.

To view each Department Chair from all departments, you may visit the Administrative Units webpage.

From here, you may select the College that owns the course and see who the Chairperson/Department Chair is for the Department that owns the course.

There are two ways of looking up their email address:

1. Visit the Department’s webpage and look at their “Faculty” site, usually found on the right side of the webpage under “In this section.”
2. Access the Campus Directory application on MyUWF and search the Department Chair’s name in the search bar. You may also select the “Departments” tab, select the department, and find the Chairperson’s information there.

Step 3 - Email the Departments

Once you have each contact for your course(s), it is time you email them regarding your prerequisite errors. If you have multiple department chairs to email, please email them separately.

You may use the following template for your email(s):
