There are several reasons that your registration may not be accepted by Self-Service:
- Is it your assigned time slot? See Registration Schedule
- You do not have your advisor’s approval to register.
- To find out if you have permission to register, log on to your account in Self-Service and pay attention to the RED message “Please meet with your advisor(s) to obtain approval to register.” that appears in the top right of your screen.
- You will need to contact your advisor and obtain his/her approval before you will be able to register.
- If you have more than one active academic advisor (e.g., because you are a double major), both advisors must approve you to register.
- Do you have any holds on your account?
- Financial *outstanding balance of over $1,000.
- Please contact the Financial Services Office for help resolving financial holds.
- Did you accept your Student Financial Agreement on Self-Service?
- Did you confirm emergency contact, email, address and phone number on Self-Service.
- Does the Class require a Prerequisite?
- If so, have you completed and if not, did you get a waiver from the instructor?
- Does the course require a Signature to add the course.
- You will need to contact the instructor and request Signature Approval. Once the instructor has provided the Signature Approval the Register button will be blue and you can then register for the course.
- Do you need to complete an Overload Request form?
- Trying to take more than 20 credits? If so you must complete the Overload Form.
- Do you need to complete a Course Conflict form (trying to register for courses with time overlap)?
- If so, you need advisor and instructor approval as part of the approval process.
- It is recommended to register for one of the classing while obtaining approval.
- If the conflict is more than 20 minutes it WILL NOT be approved even if the instructors are okay with the overlap.
- Do you need to declare a Major/Minor:
- If you are a sophomore (with at least 48 credits and at least 2 completed semesters at Allegheny) you must declare.
- Registration for the course is restricted to certain groups. For example, a notation of FR/SO in the Restr column for a course means that only students whose registration class is “freshman” or “sophomore” may register for that course.
- Restrictions can not be overridden during the registration period. You should contact the instructor, explain the situation, and request that they consider allowing you to register for the course during the Add/Drop period at the beginning of the term.
