Issue
What to do if you get errors when registering for courses?
Resolution
After Adding Classes, Check Carefully:
-
Classes added successfully are listed under the Current Schedule.
-
Classes not added successfully are listed under Registration Add Errors (look at errors closely to find out what problems you may have to address).
Prerequisite Required
-
You must take another class first — or have a high test score. If you think you qualify to take the class anyway, contact the instructor or the department chair to request an override. If granted, you can then attempt to register for the class.
Co-Requisite Required
-
You must also take another class simultaneously, such as a biology class with a corequisite lab. You must simultaneously enter both numbers in the worksheet to register for these classes. Contact the instructor or department chair if you need an override for this restriction. If granted, you can then attempt to register for the class.
Major Restriction
-
Only students majoring in the field can take the class. If you are not in that major, contact the instructor or department chair to ask for an override. If granted, you can then attempt to register for the class.
Class Level Restriction
-
Some classes are open only to students at certain levels, i.e., juniors or seniors. If you want to take the class, contact the department for permission or wait until you are at the correct class level.
If the message indicates that you should take action, contact the section instructor if you believe you should be granted an override. If the instructor is unavailable, call the department. You will need to provide your ISU ID and the course CRN.
-
Note: You must return to
MyISU and register if granted an override.
