Prerequisite Checking Activated for Spring Registration
Real-time, automated prerequisite checking will be active for spring 2010 registration for courses numbered 599 and lower.
There will be two changes to registration windows for this registration period to meet anticipated student needs and to facilitate continued data processing across campus during peak registration times:
- first, registration windows will open at noon rather than midnight, so that faculty and staff are available to address student concerns;
- and second, the largest group of registrants, first-year students with no earned credit hours, will be subdivided and given staggered start times in an effort to ease the stress on our IT network.
FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS! Check your registration windows in your EPD for your exact start time on your first day of registration!
Students who attempt to register for a course section for which they do not have the prerequisite will receive this error message: PREQ/TEST SCORE ERROR. This means they do not have the prerequisite (it does not indicate any sort of problem with tests or test scores).
Instructors may override a prerequisite requirement for individual students by using the Registration Override function available to them on UNCGenie. This override, once entered by the instructor, allows the student to register him/herself through UNCGenie.
