Registrar: Registration Errors

The following are common errors found during the registration process. If you are registering on-line, you will need to go to the registrar's office to get in to a class that has one of these restrictions, after obtaining the appropriate signatures and/or forms.

Prerequisite/Test Score- You will need to get your advisor's signature approving your admittance in this class. Once you have the signature you can register in the registrar's office

Co-requisite- You will need to also register for the co-requisite course. If you have already taken the course, you will need to register in the registrar's office.

Time Conflict- You will not be able to register for 2 classes that meet at the same time, or overlap in time. If you have written approval from your dean, you may register for the course.

Maximum Hours Exceeded- Undergraduates can only register for 18 hours each term, and 9 hours in the summer. If you need to take more hours, you must have your dean's written approval, “OK to take _ hours,” on your registration or drop/add form.
