Common Registration Errors

• Degree and/or Major Restrictions – Banner Web may tell you that a course is open only for students of a specific major or program. If you receive this message, either choose another class or contact your advisor.
• Prerequisite Restrictions – Banner Web may say that you lack the necessary prerequisites to enroll in a particular course. You may either choose another class or see your advisor if you believe you have received this message in error. Common prerequisite restrictions follow in the list below:
  • A specific course – the course in question requires another course to be taken first.
  • A test score – the course in question requires an admissions test score or sub-score (such as ACT or SAT) of a certain level.
  • Number of hours – the course in question requires that the student have a certain number of earned hours before the course is taken
• Co-requisite Restrictions – Banner Web may inform you that the course for which you are trying to enroll must be taken at the same time as another course. You may either sign up for the co-requisite course or drop the course with the co-requisite requirement. You must enter a CRN for both courses before clicking the “Submit” button.
