• TSM COURSE PREMISSION REQUEST FORMS

  TSM Undergraduate Academic Advisors

  As a declared Technological Systems Management (TSM) major, please refer to your TSM major checklist to review your progress towards completing your major requirements. This checklist has already been shared with you and can be found in your Google Drive "Shared with me" folder. The title of the spreadsheet is "[Stony Brook ID #] [Last Name] [First Name]".

  Reference the "READ ME!" tab on the bottom right for a link to your Program Guide which has your elective and specialization options.

  Please review your checklist and add comments to indicate your course plan for the upcoming semesters. (You are not able to make edits to this spreadsheet.) Your comments will be reviewed on a regular basis, please check this spreadsheet frequently to review responses.

  If you are unable to access your checklist, please email tsm_advising@stonybrook.edu.

  *Note, if you recently declared a TSM major, please monitor your SBU email for your checklist*

  Winter and Spring 2026 Academic Advising Online Course Permission Request Forms

  To seek permission to enroll in an EST course, please complete the form that corresponds with your request. In order for your request to be considered, all required course prerequisites must be successfully completed. Before submitting your request, you are strongly encouraged to review the Undergraduate Bulletin.

  For Spring 2026, a number of EST courses have seats reserved for specific populations of students. A course permission request will not be considered if you encounter a “reserve error” upon enrollment. 

  NOTE: Each of the forms below allows you to request permission for specific EST courses. If the course for which you are seeking permission is not on the corresponding form, you are not permitted to enroll in the course.

  Failure to complete the appropriate form will result in your request being automatically denied. Please allow 1-2 weeks for your request to be reviewed. Some requests will not be reviewed until specified dates. See below for details. You will be notified of the decision via email. Please be advised, requests are not guaranteed to be approved and all decisions made by the committee are final.
