CyberBear Registration Error Messages
Registration Error Messages
The CyberBear registration system will alert a student when a course request is denied. The following are CyberBear error messages.
Campus Restriction
Students are admitted to specific campuses depending on whether they are taking face-to-face classes or enrolled as a Distance Learning student. You must take courses offered within your campus. This error message cannot be overridden without the student switching the campus to which they were admitted. Use the Distance Only Change of Status form to change your status to a Distance Learning student. Changing from a Distance Learning (online) student to a face-to-face student will result in an increase of tuition and fees.

Classes that have a waitlist cannot be overridden with an instructor’s signature on an override form until the first day of class. Once classes have begun, instructors can override waitlists at their discretion using a paper or electronic override. Please note that not all overrides are approved.
