Consent of the instructor is required for this course. This restriction is put on by the instructor or department.

Students must obtain an override from the instructor in order to add the class at the instructor's discretion.

This error occurs when a course is limited to specific majors or minors by the department that offers the course. Only students within those fields of study may register for the class. 

If a student of a different major would like to register, the instructor may issue a General Override in CyberBear in order to allow the student to register for the class.

If a student believes that their major is mistakenly left off of the list of permitted majors/minors, they can contact the department chair for assistance.

Students are admitted to specific campuses depending on whether they are classified as a face-to-face student or a distance-only student. Students must take courses offered within their campus, and distance-only students are restricted to online classes.

This error message cannot be overridden without the student switching the campus to which they were admitted.

Use the Distance-Only Change Form to change your status to or from distance-only status. Changing from a distance-only student to a face-to-face student may result in an increase of tuition and fees.

This error occurs when a student tries to register for a class outside of their designated college (i.e. a Mountain Campus student tries to register for a Missoula College-only class, or vice versa).

Missoula College students trying to register for a Mountain Campus course must receive permission from their advisors.

This course has a co-requisite section linked to a primary section.

The primary section is typically the larger shared lecture, and the co-requisite section is either a smaller lab, discussion, or recitation section.

When registering, the student must register for both the primary section and the linked section at the same time.

For example, BIOL 221 section 01 carries 4 credits. The student must select section 01 and also select one of sections 02 through 05 which carry zero credits.

If the discussion section is full, the student must add themselves to the waitlist of the discussion section. Once a seat opens in the discussion section, the student may then register for both the discussion and the main lecture sections.

When dropping linked courses, students must drop both the lecture and the linked section (recitation, lab, or discussion) at the same time.
