Closed Courses
Every class at Clemson has a size limit. Once these limits are reached, the course is closed. If you want or need to take a course that has been closed or you received a registration error, you may request an enrollment override or to be added above the course capacity.
Enrollment Options for Restricted or Closed Courses
Course Seat Request
The iROAR Course Seat Request tool is the University's official way for you to request a seat in a course that is at full capacity or if you have received a registration error. The tool allows departments to provide you with an override to register for the course when possible and gauge unmet course demand. Students will receive an email when their request has been completed. They may also review the status of their request on the Status Page, linked from the Student Information Table.

Please note:
- You may also see this tool as Request a Seat in a Closed Course. The names are interchangeable and the tool should be used to address any reason you can not enroll other than Holds, Legal Presence, etc. See Understand iROAR Registration Errors.
- Being granted an override or added to a section is at the discretion of the individual department. The academic department cannot guarantee your choice of section will be granted.
Course Section Waitlist
The waitlist option has been phased out and is unavailable beginning Spring 2026.
