One of the most common errors occurs with prerequisite, co-requisite or linked courses. If you receive an error message pertaining to one ore more of these areas, it means the following:
Pre-requisite Student Message:
If a class requires a pre-requisite, that means there is another class you must successfully complete prior to enrolling. Examples might include sequence classes or upper-level classes. Contact your advisor with any questions regarding pre-requisites.
Co-requisite Student Message:
If a class requires a co-requisite, that means there is another class in which you must be simultaneously enrolled. You should select both classes before attempting to add to your schedule. Contact your advisor with any questions regarding co-requisites.
Linked Class Student Message:
Some classes have other classes or lab sections for which you must register simultaneously. Examples might include language and science labs, Honors and Freshmen FOCUS groups or learning communities. You should select all the classes that are linked before attempting to add them to your schedule. Contact your advisor with any questions regarding linked classes.
**Advisors should know if there is a true prerequisite/co-requisite/linked class or whether there is an error in the system. If the advisor believes there to be an error, he or she should contact the appropriate course guardian for assistance.
