If you see an alert on your saved schedule, you may need to complete an action to avoid registration issues.
- Red errors: You will not be able to proceed with your registration. You must resolve the alert prior to registering for courses.
- Orange alerts: You will be able to proceed with registration, but you should read the alert to ensure you meet the eligibility requirements.
Before proceeding: When you are building your Term 2 saved schedule, you may see an alert that you do not meet the pre-requisites for some courses. This may be because you have the pre-requisites on your Term 1 saved schedule. Check your Term 1 saved schedules to make sure you have the required courses to meet your Term 2 pre-requisites.
This alert will be resolved after you register for your Term 1 courses.
