Instructor Permission message

This status message indicates that the course you in which are trying to enroll requires the permission of the instructor for enrollment. See the instructions below to request an Instructor Permission registration override.

This status message indicates that the course in which you are trying to enroll is restricted to Graduate students and your level is Undergraduate.  See the instructions below to request a Level registration override.

This status message indicates that the course in which you are trying to enroll is restricted to certain majors and your major as recorded in the Banner system does not permit you to enroll in the class.  See the instructions below to request a Major registration override.

This status message indicates that the course in which you are trying to enroll is restricted to a certain class (e.g. Freshman, Senior, etc.) and your class as recorded in the Banner system does not permit you to enroll in the course.  See the instructions below to request a Class registration override.

This status message indicates that the course in which you are trying to enroll has reached its capacity and is closed.  You should 1) search for other sections of the course, 2) search for sections of other courses needed to fulfill your degree requirements, 3) contact the department offering the course (which may not necessarily be the department of your major).

This status message indicates that the course in which you are trying to enroll is reserved for a certain group and you are not a member of that group.  You should 1) search for other sections of the course, 2) search for sections of other courses needed to fulfill your degree requirements, 3) contact the department offering the course (which may not necessarily be the department of your major).

This status message indicates that you are required to also enroll in another course in order to enroll in the section you have attempted to enroll in.  The status message will tell you if you can enroll in any section of the course or if you must enroll in a specific section (CRN) of the course. If you have questions, please consult with your academic advisor.

Co-requisite may be any section of a course

This situation can be identified by a status message similar to the following example, where a subject and course number are displayed (as opposed to specific CRN).

  Example: CORQ_CWP 101 REQ

This situation can be identified by a status message similar to the following example, where a specific CRN is displayed.

  Example: CORQ_CRN 2454 REQ 

In either case you must first search for appropriate course sections, add them to the registration Add Classes Worksheet and submit the worksheet. To do this, perform the following three steps:

Step 1: Select the Class Search button at the bottom of the page.  Search for one of the co-requisite courses.  Select the check box in the first column in the search results for the CRN you want and click the Add to Worksheet button at the bottom of the page.  You are not yet registered for this course. 

Step 2: Select the Class Search button at the bottom of the page again.  Search for the other co-requisite course.  Select the check box in the first column in the search results for the CRN you want and click the Add to Worksheet button at the bottom of the page.  You are not yet registered for these courses. 

Step 3: Click the Submit Changes button at the bottom of the page.  Assuming there are no other restrictions that would prevent you from enrolling in the sections, you will be enrolled in the two CRNs.  Check you schedule to verify the two sections you wanted have been added.

This status message indicates that the course in which you are trying to enroll has the same subject and number of a section you have already enrolled in.  You may only enroll in one section of any course in Banner.

Topics Courses: If you need to register for two sections of a Topics Course, you will need to request an override to allow you to register in two sections of a course with same subject and number.  Contact the instructor or department to request a Duplicate Course override.  Use the on-line faculty directory to find the instructor’s contact information.  Use the Department Contact Information below to find the contact information for the department offering the course.

Matriculated (Degree-Seeking) students: This status message indicates that enrolling in this course would give you more than 19 hours of credit. In order to enroll in more than 19 hours in a semester, please see your department secretary to request an override to enroll in more than 19 hours. You will not be able to register in the additional course until the override has been granted, which may take up to 24 hours.

Non-Degree Seeking students: This status message indicates that enrolling in this course would give you more than 11 hours of credit. In order to enroll in more than 11 hours in a semester, you must get approval from the Assistant to the Dean for Academic Standards and Intervention who will determine if you may enroll in more than 11 hours. Please contact the Academic Standards and Intervention office at (716) 878-5222 to request an override to enroll in more than 11 hours. Approval is not automatic.  There needs to be an extenuating circumstance that the student can document that warrants an exception to the policy.  If approval is to be allowed, the Assistant to the Dean for Academic Standards and Intervention will process the maximum hours override for you for a specific course. You will not be able to register in the additional course until the override has been granted, which may take up to 24 hours.

Students on Probation (Cumulative GPA is less than 2.0):  This message indicates that enrolling in this course would give you more than 15 hours  of credit.  Students on Probation are limited to 15 credit hours per semester.

This status message indicates that you are attempting to register for a section that you are currently registered for.  Banner will not permit you to enroll in this course. Contact the Registrar’s Office directly at 716-878-4811 for more information and to verify if the registration can be permitted.

This status message indicates that you are attempting to register for a non-repeatable course that you

    * are currently already taking
    * have taken at BSC and received a grade of C or better
    * have received transfer credit for
    * have exceeded max credits allowed for course

Please be advised that if the course is one you are already currently taking, that the only way to register for the same course in the following  term is to get an override from that faculty member for that CRN.

If this is the third attempt of a repeat please be advised that this is only permitted after you obtain an approved petition from Academic Standards Office. You will then need to present that approved petition to the course instructor to process a “repeat hours override” for your next attempt.

Procedures to Request a Registration Override

If you are trying to enroll in a course offered by the following departments, contact the department instead of the instructor:

• Elementary Education and Reading Department, call (716) 878-5916
• Exceptional Education Department, call (716) 878-5317

For all other courses, contact the instructor directly to request the appropriate registration override to enroll in the course.  Search the campus faculty directory for the instructor’s contact information.

If attempts to reach the instructor are not successful, contact the office of the department offering the course for help.  See the Department Contact Information below for more information.

VERY IMPORTANT:

• Once you receive notification that you have been granted the registration override, you must go back to Banner and enroll for the course.  You will not be automatically enrolled in the course.
• Review the catalog to make yourself aware of any other restrictions that may be applied to the course so that you request all the applicable overrides.
