Reserves

Some sections during a term have seats reserved for a particular group of students.  The number of reserved seats for each CRN will be displayed in the Reserved Seats Column of the Registration Application.

Most reserves are removed from sections approximately three weeks after the start of registration and those seats then become available for all students eligible to register in the course.

Restrictions

Courses may have restrictions limiting registration to students in a specific program.  For example, Nursing courses may be restricted to students in the Nursing program. Restrictions are placed on some courses to limit registration to students in a specific program. Restrictions on a course are not removed at any time. To see specific details about restrictions on a section while in the registration application, click the Course Title; in the Class Details window, select the Restrictions tab. Restrictions on a course are not removed at any time during registration.  If you attempt to register in a course with restrictions that you do not meet, you will receive a registration error.
