Error Messages & Banner Tips

You might get an "error" message when trying to add a class. These can be confusing.  

Common registration error messages and how to troubleshoot them can be found here: Troubleshooting Registration Messages from AppalNet/Banner

Tips for using the Banner Registration system:

  • If the "Select" check box is not available to check, you may see a code beside it.
    A "C" means that the class is closed and there are no available seats.
    A "NR" means that the course is not available for registration at this time.
    A "SR" means that the student is restricted from registering for one of the following reasons: the student's time ticket (appointment time), a hold on the student's record, the student's academic standing or status.
  • The codes in the 'Days' column represent the following: M = Monday, T = Tuesday, W = Wednesday, R = Thursday, F = Friday, S = Saturday, U = Sunday.
  • Single click on all links and buttons. Double clicking may result in your being logged out ('Login expired' message).
  • If a course is closed (has a "C" beside it) but you have received a Capacity Permit from the department, view the permit and CRN on the "Check Your Registration Status" page and enter the CRN on the Worksheet.
  • If a course has a co-requisite (i.e. a lab), enter the CRNs for both courses (i.e., lecture and lab) to the worksheet and select SUBMIT to complete the transaction.
  • If you are logged in for a period of time without performing any action, your login will expire.
  • Your Alternate PIN is a six digit number. Occasionally a student will get only get the last three digits of the Alternate PIN. For example, if the Alternate PIN is given as 123, the Alternate PIN must be added as 000123.
