How do I register for a course during the second week of the term?

Course adds require both instructor and academic departmental approval. These approvals must be in an email format and include your full name and OSU Student Identification Number. These must then be forwarded to ecampus.ess@oregonstate.edu.

Please Note: Due to the nature of Ecampus courses, Ecampus strongly discourages students from adding courses after the first week of the term because you will be unable to register until all permissions have been received and the override is processed. Also, gaining access to the course in Blackboard, ordering books and other necessary course materials will cause a further delay to your participation. This may put you several weeks behind and could severely impair your ability to be successful in the course.

If you need to add after the first week, we advise that you contact the instructor immediately to obtain the syllabus and begin completing any coursework that does not require Blackboard.
