Online Registration Course Restrictions Guide

Online Registration Course Restrictions Guide

Banner will apply faculty approved course restriction filters during the registration and add/drop processes. Each restriction may apply singly or in combination with other restrictions. Faculty approval is required to “override” all course restrictions except duplicate courses or repeated courses.

Type of Restriction	Banner action
Enrollment limit	Students will be permitted to register up to the specified enrollment limit. Once the enrollment limit is reached, students will receive a message that the course is closed.
Campus restriction	Courses may be limited to one or more campuses - St. Augustine (mainstream), Evening and Distance. For example, a St. Augustine student attempting to register for a course offered only at Evening University will receive a message that they do meet the campus restriction
College restriction	Courses may be limited to one or more faculties. For example a FSA student attempting to register for a course restricted to FSS students will receive a message that they do meet the college restriction
Level restriction	Courses may be limited to undergraduate or graduate students.
Major restriction	Courses may be limited to students in one or more specified majors. Students who have not declared a major or are not in the specified major will receive a message that they do not meet the program restriction.
Programme restriction	Courses may be limited to students in one or more specified programmes. Students who not in the specified programme(s) will receive a message that they do not meet the program restriction.
Pre-requisites	Banner has the capacity to check specified course pre-requisites or required test scores. Students who do not have the specified course requisite will receive a message that they do not met the pre-requisite requirement
Duplicate Course	Students may not register for more than one section of the same course number. (In Banner, topics courses are independent courses. Therefore, the restriction does not apply.)

Pre-Requisite Error

If you attempt to register for a course(s) and do not have the necessary pre-requisite or if a class is full, you will receive an error message after trying to register for it.

Only the Dean of the Faculty or his/her designated representative(s) will be authorized to do overrides or give approvals.
