CSA Graduate Force Add Page

• If a student is has taken or is taking a prerequisite course outside of VT, the systems that govern course request and add/drop will not have this information and will not allow a student to enroll in courses for which the prerequisite has not been satisfied (or in progress at Virginia Tech). 
• Students may submit a force-add request for pre-requisite errors. The CS Graduate Office will require the student to provide proof of successful completion of the pre-requisite with a B or better.
• Information about Transfer Credits

• Students outside of the Computer Science department may request a force-add if there is space available in the course
• Prospective students, commonwealth campus students, and non-CS students will not be prioritized over current CS students. 

• Undergraduate students in the accelerated 4+1 M.S. or M.Eng program must have their Course Designation Request (commonly known as the “double-count form”) completed.
• Force-adds for courses not listed on the double-count form will be denied.
• Visit Accelerated BS/Master’s Program page for more information

Some CS courses are already open to maximum capacity on the timetable and do not have additional space for force-adds. Students should monitor drop/add regularly for an opening in the course. 

• Courses with full capacity are not available on the CS Force-Add form
• Students who want to enroll in a course that has reached enrollment capacity, should continue to monitor the drop/add system for an opening if the course is not included on the force-add form.
