### Using a Saved Plan

If you have a plan saved for the term, you can open the **Plans** tab. More information on registering from a plan can be found in the Plan Ahead section of this guide.

### Registering for Corequisites

If you are trying to register for a class that has a corequisite, such as a Chemistry lecture and corresponding laboratory course, make sure both classes are pending in your summary before selecting **Submit**.

You must register for both corequisites at the same time or you will receive a prerequisite and test score error.

### Registration Errors

A successful registration will show the status **Registered**. If an issue occurs, the status will show **Errors Preventing Registration**. A notification will list the course information and the error that occurred.

The department offering a course and the Registrar’s Office can issue permits to override some registration errors. Not all errors will receive permits.

To request a permit override, send an email to the contact listed below and include your name, ID number, the error type, and CRN. You can view your permits under Registration Status.
