Major Blocks

Fall 2021 major blocks have been removed for CJS classes. If there are available seats in a class, non-CJS majors can register normally. If a class is full, see if it has a waitlist. If there is no waitlist, go to your My.IllinoisState and submit a Course Permit (Override) Request. Please note that some classes may remain blocked, and that CJS advisors can only grant overrides for CJS classes.
