To obtain permits for Registration ADD errors (e.g. prerequisites, corequisites, special approval, course restrictions, etc), students should contact the department/school/Regional campus offering the course for assistance.

Students and advisors can view their Registration Status page for any registration permits and overrides that have already been assigned to them. After receiving the appropriate permits or overrides from the department, the student may register for the course.

The following registration add error messages may be displayed:

• This section is cancelled.
• This section is closed.
• This section requires Special Approval.
  • Special  approvals must be obtained from the department who owns the course.
• This section has a prerequisite or test score restriction.
  • If you do not meet that requirement, you will receive this error message and will need to contact the department/school or campus that offers the course to discuss your eligibility for this course.
• This section requires a corequisite.
  • Both CRN numbers must be entered at the same time for registration to be successful.
• This section has a field of study (major, minor or concentration) restriction.
• This course is restricted to graduate level students.
  • If an undergraduate student has received a level restriction, the student has selected a graduate level course.
  • There is NO override for this error message. Appropriate approval must be received for an undergraduate to take a graduate level course or have the student select an undergraduate level course.
• This section has a time conflict with a course the student is already enrolled in.
• This section has a student attribute restriction.
• This section has a class rank restriction.

During the second week of the semester (or the prorated equivalent for each Part of Term) if a student drops a course and then attempt to reregister for that same section, they will receive this error message. Have the student contact the Financial, Billing and Enrollment Center for assistance.

• If the student waitlisted for a course and attempts to add the same section, the student will receive the Duplicate CRN message.
• They must contact the department/school/registration office of the campus offering the section for assistance.

The request the student has made resulted in a credit-hour overload.

• They must contact their college/Regional Campus registration office during normal office hours for information regarding overload permission.
• The Kent State University Request for Overload form is available on the Advising website.
