Permission to Add (PTA) Numbers

A Permission to Add (PTA) number allows a student to enroll in a course section, even if it is full. However, PTAs should be used sparingly and must not be issued if adding the student would exceed the room's capacity. A PTA number is valid for only 72 hours after it is issued and will be revoked after the third day.

Designated department staff or faculty may issue PTA in the Banner using the following procedure:

1. Open ZSAMPTR and enter the term and CRN for the course in the top key block.
2. Navigate to the Permission to Register Number Transaction block (ALT + Page down is Once).
3. Input PTR Type: A (add).
4. Opt field: CR (create).
5. Exclude Var Unit CRNs checkbox: do not check this.
6. Enroll PCT Limit: 0.
7. Numeric Limit: 1 to create one PTR number.
8. Save (F10).
9. Rollback (Shift F7) to the key block.
10. To view the PTA number, navigate to the next block (Ctrl + Page Down). You must assign the new PTA number to the student.
