Common Registration Error Messages and SOLUTIONS

Below is a list of error messages that you may receive on the Add/Drop screen of the Web Student Access System.


Error Description Contact Demo Videos
CAMPUS RESTRICTION this course is being taught somewhere other than on the Main Campus in Atlanta (Studies Abroad, Video, etc).
CLASS RESTRICTION the enrollment in this course is restricted by class (Freshman, Sophomore, etc.). You can ask for a class restriction permit.
CLOSED SECTION class is full. You need to ask for an overload.
CORQ_COURSE_XXXX REQ co-requisites courses must be taken at the same time. You need to register for both courses on the same commit.
DUPL CRSE WITH SEC-XXXXX the computer system looks at subject code (ie. MATH, ENGL, etc.) and course number (2501, 1502, etc.), but not section number. If you are trying to take 2 courses with the same subject code and course number, such as MGT 4803 A and MGT 4803 B, you need a duplicate course permit.
LEVEL RESTRICTION
(Undergrad Students)
Undergraduate Students Who Wish to take a Graduate Level Course
An undergraduate student may take a graduate level course with the permission of the department teaching the course, and a minimum GPA of 2.7. The student must have the department of instruction enter a permit on their account, and then the student should contact the Registrar's Office to request a LEVEL permit. The email should include the student's full name, gtID, course, and CRN for which they are trying to register. Once the Registrar's Office has issued the LEVEL permit, they will instruct the student to register for the course.
 
LEVEL RESTRICTION
(Grad Students)
Graduate Students Who Wish to take a 1000/2000 Level Course
Graduate students who wish to take a 1000 or 2000 level course must obtain a permit from the department teaching the course. The student must have the department of instruction enter a permit on their account, and then come to the Registrar's Office in room 104 of the Tech Tower to have the course added to their schedule. Institute policy allows graduate students to take a 1000 or 2000 level course on a pass/fail or audit basis only.
 
LINK ERROR
XX REQUIRED
certain lectures and labs are "linked" together. You must register for both the lecture and lab in the same commit. Most departments list the lecture section as a single letter and the lab as the same letter followed by a number (Example: the lecture is section "A" and the corresponding lab sections are "A1", "A2", etc).
MAJOR RESTRICTION only students in certain majors are allowed to register for this course.
MAXIMUM HOURS EXCEEDED you are trying to take more hours than allowed. Reduce the number of hours on your schedule. See maximum hours.
PERMIT REQUIRED the enrollment in the course is restricted. You need to ask for a permit.
PREQ & TEST SCORE-ERROR you do not have the pre-requisites for the course. You can talk to the department about a pre-requisite override permit.
TIME CONFLICT WITH XXXXX you are trying to take 2 courses that meet at the same time or have overlapping times.
