Registration Errors: Registration Restrictions Descriptions

The 'CLOSED SECTION' error will supercede all other errors, meaning any other registration error may be hidden behind it.  It simply means that the section is full to its' maximum seating.


The 'PERMISSION REQUIRED' errors occur in the 'STATUS COLUMN' when a University Department requests that we place a "Permission Required' at the section level of a course.

 

The 'LEVEL RESTRICTION' error occurs when it is specified at either the section or catalog level of the course that only students of a certain level (either Undergraduate or Graduate) can register for the course.

 

The 'COLLEGE RESTRICTION' error occurs when it is specified at either the section or catalog level of the course that only students of a certain College can register for the course.

 

The 'MAJOR RESTRICTION' error occurs when it is specified at either the section or catalog level of the course that only students of a certain Major can register for the course.

 

The 'CLASS RESTRICTION' error occurs when it is specified at either the section or catalog level of the course that only students of a certain Classification can register for the course.

 

A 'TIME CONFLICT' error occurs when the course displaying the error has a time that conflicts or overlaps with a course for which the student is already registered.

 

A 'COREQUISITE' error occurs when it is specified at either the section or catalog level of the course that another course must be taken the same term as the course displaying the error.

 

A 'PREREQUISITE & TEST SCORE' error occurs when it is specified at either the section or catalog level of the course, that specific course or courses must have been completed prior to registering for the course displaying the error.

 

A 'LINK ERROR' occurs when a course has multiple parts (ie. Lecture, Lab and/ or Recitation) that must be taken in conjunction with one another.  Although these parts have unique CRNs, they are one complete course when taken together.  Only one part of the course, the Lecture if applicable, will be associated with a grade and credits.  The Lab and/or Recitation that must be taken with it will have zero credits and will not receive a unique grade.  Lectures have sections 'A, B, C, etc.' and Link Identifiers of 'L1, L2, L3, etc.' depending how many Lectures with unique times are being offered.  Each number in the series 'L1, L2, L3, etc.' has a specific set of Lab and/or Recitation sections that can be taken with it.  Lab series are section numbers '061, 061, 063, etc.' and have Link Identifiers if 'Z1, Z2, Z3, etc.'.  Recitation series are section numbers '001, 002, 003, ... 060'. and have Link Identifiers of 'R1, R2, R3, etc.'.  To  correct a link error, register for courses with common Link Identifiers (ie. L1, Z1, R1 or L3, Z3, R3).
