What tips should I keep in mind about BannerWeb Registration?
1. This is a real-time, seniority-based registration system.
2. Courses can be set up to enroll students based solely on seniority, i.e., no class or major restrictions exist, or they may be set up to accept only certain classes or majors, or they may be open to anyone. You should review the course restrictions during Round One (see below) so that you can request an override of these restrictions (prerequisites, or major and class restrictions), if you do not satisfy the restrictions. A prerequisite error means your record does not satisfy the course requirement and you should contact the Department to see if you can get an override. You can see if an override or approval has been granted by going to your "Check Your Registration Status" page on BannerWeb.
3. You will not be able to register for more than four course credits at any time during on-line registration. Afterward, during the drop/add period, only seniors or students with permission (per the Handbook guidelines) may register for a 5th course by bringing a "5th course" Add card to the Registrar's Office.
4. You can register for PE (non-credit) courses on-line!
5. You will be able to drop courses on-line until the end of the Add period. (Adding courses will still be a manual card process following the web registration period.)
6. You cannot register for multiple sections of the same course, i.e., labs x, y, and z. You should register for the lab you want. If you don't get in you should try your second choice and so on.
7. Banner will not let you register for courses that have time conflicts.
8. To fully enroll in a course that has multiple sections (e.g., lecture, lab, and discussion), you NEED to register for all sections. You will not get into one section alone if there is more than one type of section required. These multi-sections of courses are linked in Banner. If you don't register for all sections, you will get a "link" error and won't get registered for any part of the course.
9. If a course is cross-listed, you can only register for the course under the subject/department of the primary instructor.
10. The purpose of the waitlist is to let faculty know who wants to take the class, but it does not guarantee enrollment in future terms.
11. After receiving approval for an independent project, internship, research, or thesis, you must register yourself in the professor's specific course section for which he/she has granted you approval.
12. If you get an error message during web registration or Round One, determine and correct the error (contact the instructor or registrar's office) and then re-submit your changes.
