When registering for courses, you may receive a Registration Error. Here's an example:
Types of Registration Errors and How to Solve Them
Class Restriction:
- A course may be restricted by college/school, degree program, major or class year.
- If you're not in that school/program/major/class, you'll get this error.
- Find an alternate course.
Closed Course:
- The class is full.
- Register for an open section of the same course or a different course.
Duplicate Course:
- The database detects two sections of the same course on your schedule.
- Drop one of them using the drop option listed by the course.
Instructor or Department Consent:
Maximum Hours Exceeded:
- You need an Override with a stamp from your Dean's Office to increase your maximum hours for the term.
- See Course Overrides.
Prereq, Co-req or Test Score:
- You have not met the prerequisite or co-requisite for the course.
- Refer to the catalog for details.
- If the error regards a Pre-Req or a Test Score, find a different course or request an Override.
- If the error regards a co-requisite, you MUST type the CRNs for both courses in your Class Shopping Cart at the same time.
Time Conflict:
- Two or more of your desired courses overlap in time.
- Choose one or more different courses.
Tips for Resolving Errors
Have a list of alternate courses/CRNs handy. You may have to re-arrange your schedule to get a set of courses that works for you based on what is available at the time you register.
To correct a registration error, add a new CRN to your Class Shopping Cart and click "Register/Submit."
Some instructors/departments may grant exceptions for Registration Errors. See Course Overrides.
