The reason for requesting the permission which the student entered is included.

    • Click the checkbox next to the permission type you do not want to grant to uncheck it.

      Note: Because career restrictions are managed by school registrars or administrators, you will not be able to uncheck a career restriction permission. Once actions are completed on a request that includes a career restriction, the request will be forwarded to the appropriate administrator for further action.

    • Once updates have been completed, click Grant to grant the student’s request or Deny to deny the request.

    • If a request has already been granted, click Revoke to revoke the request.

      Note: If the student has already enrolled, this will not remove the student from the class.

    • Use the Actions menu to grant, deny or revoke permission requests en masse. Click the checkbox to the left of the student’s name or click the checkbox at the top of the column to select all students. Then, click the Actions icon, and select the action to execute. A confirmation page will display where comments can be entered to the students or an expiration date, if applicable, can be selected.

    • Click the Grant, Deny, or Revoke, as appropriate, to complete the process. The action will be applied to all selected students, where possible. A message will appear if the action cannot be applied to any of the selected students. The new status will be reflected immediately if the action is successful, and the student will be removed from the list currently being viewed.

    • If needed, email one or more students from the Actions menu. Select the student(s) and click Notify Selected. Enter the message to be sent to the students and click Notify.
