• You need to take a third/fourth attempt at an IT course.  A third attempt of a College of Engineering and Computing (CEC) course requires support by the student's major department as well as permission by the department offering the course.

You are currently registered for a course that is a prerequisite for a course you wish to take in the next semester.

The system assumes you will pass your current course(s), and will allow you to register for the next course.  If you do not pass the current course, you must drop the subsequent course before the next term begins.  If you do not, you will be administratively removed from it. You will be responsible for any financial or academic repercussions of the schedule adjustment.
