FAQ

How will I be registered?

The SON Prerequisite team will register you based on your submission date, intended major (pre-nursing students have priority), and student classification (senior, junior, etc)

When will I be notified?

You will be notified of your registration no later than the last date of drop/add

What happens if I do not get registered for my requested class?

You will be placed one our waitlist for the following semester. You must still submit a request via form the following semester in order for your enrollment request to be processed.

I see open seats in a pre-requisite class. Why am I not able to register?

In order to be as fair as possible, the SON Prerequisite team works from the waitlist to fill spots based on our priority lists. A seat may appear open on Course Leaf, but that does not necessarily mean it is truly available.
