This tutorial applies to both undergraduate and graduate students on the Okanagan campus.
If you see an alert on your saved schedule, you may need to complete an action to avoid registration issues.
- Red error: 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. |

| “Your saved schedule includes course sections that you’re not eligible for.” | You do not meet eligibility requirements for a course in your saved schedule. This may be due to a missing prerequisite. | Remove the course. If you have coursework from a prior college or university that may meet the eligibility rules, please contact an Advisor to discuss. At the graduate level, students should reach out to their graduate programs for support. |
