| Reason: | You are missing a linked section tied to the lecture/discussion | Two or more sections are overlapping | Course is restricted to specific major(s) only. | You are missing the prerequisite to take the course | You are attempted to register for a course you are already completed or are currently enrolled in |
| Next steps: |
Check if the course has a linked discussion. Click on the "View Linked Courses" button on the right. Add both the lecture and linked section and submit the course at the same time. Make sure the linked section is the correct linked section. |
Find a different section that may fit with your schedule instead, if possible. Adjust your schedule to fit the new course, if possible. Contact all professors involved about time conflict. If approved by all professors, submit a Time Conflict Override Enrollment form. |
Consider a different course to register for instead. Consult with BAC academic advisor, if you have interest or plan to change major. |
Check the course for the prerequisite and check your academic record. Consult with BAC academic advisor if you have the prerequisite completed. Register for the prequisite course instead, if you are missing the prerequisite. |
Course repeat is only possible if you received a non-passing grade for the course. Wait for final grades to be posted. Consult with BAC academic advisor.
