Advisors Guide to Banner Registration Error Messages (PDF)

One of the most common errors occurs with prerequisite, co-requisite, or linked courses. If the student you are advising receives an error message pertaining to one or 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 the student must SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE PRIOR to enrolling.  Examples might include sequence classes or upper-level classes.  Students should contact their advisors 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 the student must be SIMULTANEOUSLY enrolled.  The student should SELECT BOTH CLASSES before attempting to add it to their schedule.  Students should contact their advisors with any questions regarding co-requisites.

Linked Class Student Message:
Some classes have other classes or lab sections for which students must register simultaneously.  Examples might include language and science labs, Honors and Freshmen FOCUS groups, or learning communities.  Students should SELECT ALL THE CLASSES that are linked before attempting to add them to their schedule.  Students should contact their advisors with any questions regarding linked classes.

NOTE: 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.
