Common Registration Restrictions

Why can't I register online?

When attempting to use Web Registration, you may be faced with various restrictions that will prevent you from being able to register. We've outlined some of the most common reasons why students are restricted from registering for specific classes or from registering at all.

Placement Requirements

You may get a message that reads "You have not met PLACEMENT requirements." The placement hold means that you have not satisfied minimum English and/or math courses or taken the necessary placement tests for which scores are required. In order to register you must have:

• Valid test scores from tests taken or submitted direct to Daytona State (two year limit for CPT, SAT, ACT)See ASSESSMENT for more information.
• Minimum qualifying scores See ASSESSMENT for more information.
• Evaluated transcripts* including course work from another school that meets pre-requisite requirements (grade of "C" or better).

*Evaluated indicates that the transcripts were received by the DSC Records Office and have been processed/evaluated. This process can take a minimum of 2-3 weeks from time of receipt. If your transcripts have not been received and/or evaluated and entered into the computer, you will need to request an override from an academic advisor. Dependent upon the transfer institution and course, this may or may not be approved or if approved, available immediately. You are encouraged to determine your status early so that you can resolve this restriction early.

Pre-Requisite, Co-Requisite, Concurrent Requisite

• If you have transfer courses: If you have previous course work from another institution, but it hasn't been officially evaluated and entered into the computer, you will get a message indicating that you need a pre/co requisite when you attempt to register. Until the official evaluation is completed and online, you will need to request a manual override to register. Dependent upon the course, either a Q&A Enrollment Specialist can assist or you may need to meet with an Academic Advisor. The override may or may not be completed by an advisor dependent upon the transfer institution and course. It may need to be evaluated by the Records Office who processed transfer evaluations.
• If you have don't have transfer courses: You may be trying to register for a class that has a pre- or co-requisite such as math, English or a prior level course (such as Drawing I being a pre-requisite for Drawing II). Please see the link above to the Course Information in the catalog to read the description of the course you are attempting to register for to determine if it has a pre- or co-requisite course identified.

College Preparatory Courses (PREP)

The State has regulations related to requirements if you place into college preparatory or 'prep' math and English courses (MAT0002, MAT0024, ENC0001,REA0001). These are specific regulations that cannot be overriden. For specifics related to these policies, please see COLLEGE PREP REGULATIONS

Faculty Consent/Permission Required

Certain courses or sections of courses are restricted to only students in that major or only to students who have permission of the faculty member or chairperson. You should determine the faculty member's name and look him/her up at www.DaytonaState.edu and selecting the PEOPLE SEARCH option. You will get a phone number to reach him/her to discuss the status.

Other Restriction Messages

When researching a course using COURSE AVAILABILITY, you should check the VIEW COMMENTS option to the far right. This indicates whether or not there are co-requisite courses and other unique messages specific to that section (i.e. that you must enroll in a lab, other courses or must have a pre-requisite). It also will indicate if this is a special section (i.e. accelerated, Honors).
