Why am I getting a major restriction error for CH 2411 Organic Chem Lab 1?

Monday, April 1st, 2013

In the fall semester there is one section of CH 2411 Organic Chem Lab I that is reserved for chemistry majors.  This section is indicated under “course comments” when you click on the CRN for any of the lab sections.

You will need to choose a different CH 2411 lab section.

Why am I getting a registration error for CM 3215 Fund of ChE Lab?

Friday, March 29th, 2013

There are two parts to CM 3215 Fundamentals of ChE Lab, a lecture (section 0A) and labs (sections L01, L02, etc.).  If you do not enrol in both the lecture and lab sections then you will receive a link error.

I cannot register for my UN class. I am getting a class restriction error. What should I do?

Monday, November 12th, 2012

If you are having difficulty enrolling in your UN class due to a “class restriction” error, then please read the directions below:

First-Year Students

If you are a first-year student and are bringing in AP, dual enrollment, or transfer credit then you may no longer have the freshman class standing that is required to enroll in the freshman UN classes (Perspectives and World Cultures). You will need a class restriction waiver. Usually these waivers are put in place ahead of time.  You can see if you already have this waiver by going to the “Check Your Registration Status” page on Banweb.  If you don’t have the waiver then you must go to the Student Services Center in the Admin building.

Second-Year Students

If you are a second-year student who brought in AP, dual enrollment, or transfer credit then you may no longer have the sophomore class standing that is required to enroll in the sophomore UN classes (Composition and Institutions) You will need a class restriction waiver. Usually these waivers are put in place ahead of time.  You can see if you already have (more…)

Which math lab section do I enroll in?

Friday, October 26th, 2012

The calculus math classes, MA 1160 and MA 1161 (calc I), MA 2160 (calc II), and MA 3160 (multivariable calc), require that you enroll in corresponding recitation and lab sections.  For example, if you are enrolling in R01 then you also will need to enroll in L01.  R02 enrolls in L02, R03 enrolls in L03, etc.  If you do not enroll in the corresponding recitation/lab sections then you will get a registration link error.

Why can’t I register for Linear Algebra/Differential Equations? I keep getting a registration error.

Tuesday, March 27th, 2012

Make sure that you are enrolling in the correct course.

There are two courses named “Elementary Linear Algebra”:

  • MA 2320 Elementary Linear Algebra (2 cr – 14 week semester long course)
  • MA 2321 Elementary Linear Algebra (2 cr – 7 week accelerated course, track A)

There are also two courses named “Elementary Differential Equations”:

  • MA 3520 Elementary Differential Equations (2 cr – 14 week semester long course)
  • MA 3521 Elementary Differential Equations (2 cr – 7 week accelerated course, track B)

If you plan to take both linear algebra and differential equations in the same semester, then you must enroll in MA 2321 and MA 3521.  These courses are co-requisites.

If you only want or need to take one of these classes, then you must enroll in the semester long version of the class, either MA 2320 or MA 3520.

What does a “Linked Course Required” error mean?

Tuesday, March 27th, 2012

There are a number of classes that have multiple parts (a lecture, recitation, and/or lab), and you must enroll in all of the parts to register for the class.  If you only register for one part you will get a registration error that says “Linked Course Required”.  If you look at the section column when you search for classes (labeled “Sec”), the lecture sections are lettered (0A, 0B, etc.), the recitation sections start with an R (R01, R02, etc.), and the lab sections start with an L (L01, L02, etc.).  All of the parts of a single course will have the same course number.

For example to enroll in CM 3215, Fundamentals of ChE Lab, you must register for both the lecture and lab portions:

CM 3215 0A (lecture)

CM 3215 L01 or L02 or etc. (lab)

Classes with multiple parts include:  UN 1002, CM 3215, CM 3310, CM 4110, CM 4120, and CM 4120.

Some classes instead require a “co-requisite”.  This means that you must sign up for both classes (different course numbers) or you will get a “Linked Course Required” error.  Classes that require co-requisites include:  CH 1150/CH 1151, CH 1160/CH 1161, and MA 2321/MA 3521.

I can’t register for Oganic Lab, CH 2411, because I’m getting a class restiction error. Why?

Tuesday, March 27th, 2012

There is at least one section of CH 2411, Organic I Lab, that is restricted to chemistry majors.  Chem eng students are not able to take this section, so you will need to choose a different section of CH 2411.  Click on the CRN of any of the lab sections and you will see a note indicating which lab sections are restricted.

I am unable to register for CM3410 Technical Communications.

Wednesday, March 21st, 2012

There are several reasons you may be unable to register for CM 3410 Tech Com for ChemEs.

  1. You are not a junior (currently have 60-89.5 credits).  If you really are a junior, meaning you are taking junior classes, please email cmadvise@mtu.edu and explain that this is so; we can put in a waiver to allow you to register for the class.  You should do this before registration opens, if possible.
  2. The class is full.  CM 3410 sections fill in both fall and spring; usually there are extra seats in summer.  If you find that the sections are full, you may email cmadvise@mtu.edu and ask to be put on the waiting list.  We do admit students from the waiting list, giving preference to students for whom taking the class that semester is essential to their graduation.  Please explain your situation in your email.
  3. You do not have the Pre-Requisite(s): UN 2001 and UN 2002.  You must have the prerequisites to take a course at Michigan Tech.

CM 3410 is offered in the fall, spring, and summer semesters, and is a prereq for the senior CM classes, UO and plant design.

If you are in the Pavlis Institute, you may take HU3120 Technical Communications with the special section for Pavlis students and this substitutes for CM3410.  If you are a transfer student, and you transferred in HU3120, this can substitute for CM3410.  If you are having difficulty scheduling CM3410, you may substitute HU3120 with advisor or department chair approval (policy adopted 10Nov2011 per Rogers).

How many credits do I need to be considered a sophomore? junior? senior?

Tuesday, March 20th, 2012

When you have 30 credits you will have sophomore standing; 60 credits is junior standing; 90 credits is senior standing.
