I am an Incoming International Exchange Student who is interested in taking courses here at UWF but I have a prerequisite error that is preventing my registration. The Registrar’s Office at UWF instructed me to email you.

I am including my transcripts and the course(s). Would I qualify for a prerequisite override?

Thank you so much for your assistance.
