Prerequisite Checking, Conditional Bookings, and Waitlists

Prerequisite Checking

Prerequisite checking went live December 2005 and will be active during the upcoming Priority Registration period.

If a course has a prerequisite, the registration system will allow a student to book that course if one of the two following conditions has been met:

1. if the prerequisite has been completed successfully in a previous semester
2. if the student is currently enrolled in the prerequisite course or courses.

Conditional Bookings

A "CONDITIONALLY BOOKED" flag will be applied to a course if the student is currently enrolled in the prerequisite. After final grades have been submitted for the current term,

• If the prerequisite course IS completed successfully, the conditionally booked flag will be removed.
• If the prerequisite course is NOT completed successfully, the course will be dropped from the student's schedule.

If you receive an error message that you believe is a mistake (i.e. you have met or are currently enrolled in a prerequisite for a course), then contact the department office. If you wish to request an exception to the prerequisite, contact the department office. A list of all Liberal Arts departments with contact information is available on the Liberal Arts Web site.

Work is in progress to have external coursework entered into Campus Management so that transfer work will be taken into account in prerequisite checking.

Waitlists

The registration system utilizes an electronic waitlist. Detailed information about the entire waitlist process is available at http://www.olemiss.edu/waitlist.

IMPORTANT: Being on the waitlist DOES NOT GUARANTEE a seat in the class. Each session when the waitlist feature is deactivated after the last day to add classes, students who remain on the waitlist are removed from the waitlist and are NOT booked in the class.
