- Check course prerequisites/restrictions carefully and have alternative schedule configurations in mind in the event that sections are closed.
- Check for any account registration holds continually prior to registration. Holds can be viewed through the Advising Gateway. If there are any account holds, work to get them resolved as soon as possible as some holds may take two weeks or longer to clear. Please note the School of Business and/or your academic advisor cannot remove holds or register you for classes.
- Make sure to be able to access CyberFriar well in advance of the registration period in case of issues with firewalls, security, etc.
- In case of error messages during preregistration, refer to the Office of the Registrar website for error definitions or contact the Office of the Registrar.
