Make sure the correct term or semester is selected

Prerequisite not met	You may be missing a required course or test score; if you believe it’s incorrect, contact your Academic Advisor or the department
Time conflict detected	This error means the class overlaps with another on your schedule; choose a different section
Max attempts exceeded / Course repeat limit reached	If you get this error, talk to your Academic Advisor about options
Registration not allowed - appointment not started	Wait until your registration time begins. How do I check my Registration Appointment?

If you see a different error or are unsure what to do next, capture the error message and ask Student Central (Columbus campus) or Student Services at Delaware and Dublin. For help by phone, call the Telephone Information Center.
