Administrative Actions Guides

Administrative staff and college/department administrators are able to generate permission numbers for classes in their units. Faculty cannot generate permission numbers unless they also serve in an administrative role.

1. Login to the Faculty Center
2. Select Main Menu > Records and Enrollment > Term Processing > Class Permissions > Class Permissions
   Note: Do not select the Generate Add Permissions option.
3. On the resulting search page, enter enough information to identify the course (classes at SF State, Academic Institution = SFCMP)
4. Click Search
5. Select the correct class
6. Verify/change the expiration date for the current term
7. Enter the number of permission numbers to be generated
8. Select Generate
9. Select Save

Note: Please do not use this system to generate Permission to Drop numbers. Use a non-institutional expiration date or change the Permission Valid For field.

After the drop deadline, students will be able to submit an electronic withdrawal request via the Student Center in CS until the last day of instruction for that term.  Undergraduates will not be able to submit a request if it would exceed the repeat limits found in the campus policy.  If the request is for one of your department classes, you will receive an email alerting you that the request is ready for your review after an instructor has approved.

1. Online withdrawal request is accessible from the Worklist in the upper right corner of the PeopleSoft home page.

2. All of the online withdrawal requests that are available for you to review will appear in the Worklist.

3. Click on the link to view each request.
4. Review the online withdrawal request submitted by the student.
5. This step is Optional for Approvals but Mandatory for Denials. You can add comments by clicking on the "Add Comment" button.  Students will be able to see comments left when they check the status of their request in their Student Center.
6. Approve or Deny the request by clicking on the corresponding button.
   • If you approve the request:
     • Through the 12th week of instruction:  The student will be notified by email of the approval and the withdrawal will be recorded on their student record. 
     • After the 12th week of instruction:  The request will be forwarded for consideration by the academic administrator appointed by the president.
   • If you deny the request, the approval process ends and the student is notified that their withdrawal request was denied.
7. If you have other online withdrawal requests to approve/deny, click on the "Return to Worklist" button and repeat steps 3-6.

• Names are limited to 30 characters
• Query names begin with SFO_CS_
• The next two letters indicate the data area  (SR = Student Records, AA = Academic Advising, SF = Student Financials, AD = Admissions, FA = Financial Aid, etc.)
• The final characters should abbreviate what the query is for or the type of data returned

Examples:

• SFO_CS_SR_COLL_ADV_PLAN_RST (Student rosters by college and plan)
• SFO_CS_AD_UGRD_DEPT_ROSTER (Undergraduate application by department and term)
