Common Registration holds and how to resolve them:
A pre-requisite (pre-req) is a course that must be taken before you enroll in another course. For example, students must take a statistics course (STAT 30301) before enrolling in MGMT 305. Pre-requisites are determined by faculty to ensure you have the necessary background knowledge to be successful in a course.
If you are a senior, and it is a course you need to graduate, the Daniels School will send an internal waitlist survey for you to complete. If you are not a senior, continue to look for seats in your preferred courses, and talk with your advisor about alternate courses to take.
No, advisors cannot add students to courses that are full. If you’d like to request an override for a course, you can submit a request through Scheduling Assistant and the appropriate contact for the department will review your request.
