Request for Registration Override: Automatic E-mail to Students Gmail Accounts: When students attempt to register in Banner and receive a registration add error, an e-mail message is automatically sent to their Gmail accounts. This e-mail provides detailed information including the actual error message the student received and the instructor's Buffalo State e-mail address. The student can then forward this e-mail to the instructor to request an override. The e-mail will contain all relevant information related to the student, the registration add error, and the course number and CRN. The instructor can then grant the override if the student meets the necessary criteria to be registered in the course.

Forwarding Gmail Messages to Cell Phone: Students can forward important Gmail messages (for example:  waitlist notifications) to their cell phones. Detailed information is available online on the Computing and Technology Services website.
