• Common Error Messages

  Prerequisite Test Score Error

  You will receive this message if you do not meet the prerequisites for the course.

  To view the course prerequisites, click on the course title and then the prerequisites link.

  If you meet the prerequisites that are required to take the class but still receive the prerequisite error message, you'll need to email the department for which the class falls under and request a prerequisite override in order to register.

  Contact Instructor/Department to Add

  Contact the instructor or department for permission to register for the class. The instructor or department will need to enter a special approval override in order for you to register.

  Corequisite Error 

  Corequisite courses must be registered together at the same time. To view the corequisite course click on the course title and then on the corequisite link. Add both classes to your registration and submit. 

  Linking Error

  Click on the course title and then on the “View Linked Sections” to see what Course Registration Numbers (CRN) of linked sections go with the class. Add both CRNs to your registration and click Submit. 

  Duplicate Error

  You will receive this message if you are attempting to register for a course that you are already currently registered for. You need to drop the course that you are currently registered for first before adding the course you want. 

  Make sure the section you want to switch to is actually open and does not have waitlisted students to avoid losing your seat in the class that you were initially enrolled in.

  If you are trying to register for classes that have the same course number but different CRNs, email the department that the course falls under and request a duplicate override in order to register.

  Program of Study Error

  You will receive this message if you are attempting to register for a course in a program or major you are not declared in. Contact the department to declare your program of study or use the Change My Major app in your eWeber portal.

  Cohort

  Some courses within an academic department can only be registered for by students who have the department/program cohort code on their record.

  If you have questions about the cohort for a particular course or need an override, please reach out to the academic department that owns the course prefix (example: DENT is owned by the Dental Hygiene Department).

  Maximum Credit Restriction

  Students are only allowed to register for a maximum of 20 credit hours each semester. If you receive this message, you will need to drop a class first before adding another one.

  If you want to take more than 20 credits for any given semester you will need to file a petition to take additional credits.

  Campus Restriction

  You will receive this message if you are designated as a certain campus and are trying to register for classes that are outside of your campus.

  For example, a student designated as "online only" would receive a Campus Restriction message if they attempted to register for a face-to-face taught course.  

  If you want to take classes taught on campus contact the Admissions Office to switch your campus. Online campus students will need to contact Continuing Education at ce-enrollment@weber.edu or 801-626-6600.
