FAQ Details

I received a registration error when trying to register. What do I do?

You may receive a registration error (otherwise known as a course restriction) if you attempt to register for a course that has specific restrictions or limits in place. Please read the descriptions below to determine what action you may need to take.  If you require an override (flag lifting) you will generally be required to consult with the academic department offering the course.  Students are responsible for registering for classes after overrides have been granted.  Academic departments do not register students when granting overrides. For a complete listing of web registration errors, please visit our guide to web registration error messages.

Closed Section

The section has reached it's enrollment capacity. Register for another section or course. Contact the department offering the course for further information on seat availability.

Pre-Requisite Required

You have tried to register for a course that has a pre-requisite you have not taken. Check the college catalog or the Course Schedule and Registration Information on the Registrar's homepage for the pre-requisites for a given course. Contact the department offering the course for further information.

Special Permission Needed 

You need to seek permission to register for a class that is a 500 section.  See the academic department offering the course for permission to register for this particular class section. You may then register on the web, once you've received permission.  

Time Conflict

This error indicates that two or more course times overlap. Please find another course section that does not conflict. (Note: in exceptional cases only, a small time overlap may be permitted if both instructors consent.  Students must petition the associate dean for permission.)
