Registration & Overrides – Errors

You might get this error for a number of reasons! Please look at the last line of the error; you might be signing up for a closed section, a downtown section, an honors section, or another reserved section. If none of these are true, keep reading.

If you’ve completed the prerequisite course at another institution or via test credit, you may request a temporary override to register while your transcripts are still being processed. Complete the appropriate Override form (College of Science Courses or ENC 1102). Proceed with registering your other courses and keep an eye on your email for a reply. Overrides do not waive the prereq requirement; they allow registration while your pending transcripts enter the UCF system.

Only Certain Majors may take classes on the downtown campus. If you receive this error, your Major is not among them; Choose a different section. All downtown courses have section numbers ending in the 70’s. They also commonly are in locations “DPAC”, “UWXV”, or “CMB”. In class details, they say “Downtown”.

If a course ends in the letter “H”, or is otherwise labeled as an Honors section, you must be an Honors College student to enroll. Honors enrollment occurs when you first apply for admission. If you are interested in applying as an Honors student in the future, save or bookmark https://honors.ucf.edu/ to contact the program after your orientation.

Click on the section link from your shopping list. Make sure “Waitlist if full” is selected. Try enrolling again.

You have exceeded the maximum allowable number of credit hours for one semester. For Fall & Spring, 12 hours is full-time, and the maximum is 17 hours. For Summer, 6 hours is full-time, and the maximum is 14 hours. If you absolutely must request to take more than the maximum, contact your Academic Success Coach.

You have chosen two classes whose times overlap. Consider 1) does either course have other sections? 2) If not, is either course is an important prerequisite for later courses in your major? If you absolutely must request to take both classes, you will need consent from both instructors. Contact your Academic Success Coach for more information.
