Subject: Just Say No!

Dear Colleagues,

DO NOT give students permission to take your class:
a) If they don't have the prerequisites,
b) If your class may be full,
c) If the date to add your class has passed, or
d) Some other rule has prevented the student from registering!

If a student approaches you to waive a prerequisite, add your class after the deadline, or make an exception to another school rule, send him or her to an adviser in MBA Academic Affairs (full-time) or the Langone Program Office (part-time). If your class is full, send students to Registration and/or remind them to join the wait list. Most of these requests are routine, but if the program advisers have questions about the appropriateness of the exception, they or one of us will be sure to contact you.

Many thanks,

Tom P. & Kim C.
