Having trouble registering for classes?

There are a few reasons you might have a hold on your account that prevents you from registering for classes. Find out what they are—and how to fix them.

Holds on your account

You’ll need to address any hold on your account before you can register for classes. Before you register, check your record holds to make sure you’re in the clear.

Prerequisite screening issues

There are some prerequisites that the registration system doesn’t screen for. Departments reserve the right to review class rosters after registration to make sure all students are eligible. If you turn out to not be eligible for a course you’ve enrolled in, you may be asked to drop the course. This is also true for any course with the note “Consent/Permission of Instructor Required.”
