Verify that there are no holds on your account

There may be a hold on your account that blocks you from registering for courses. The most common holds are Bursar’s Holds for overdue balances or Advising Holds based on previous academic experience (dismissal, balance forward, etc.). You should take steps to resolve any holds on your account as soon as possible. You can check your holds in the Student Administration System (Instructions).

Register for your classes

Non-degree registration opens at 9 a.m. on the first day of non-degree registration for each semester. (Employees using a tuition waiver must wait until the second day of courses to register.) Non-degree students are able to enroll in up to eight credits per semester. At that time you will be able to log in to the Student Administration System and add courses to your schedule. Tutorials for adding, swapping, and dropping courses are available at UConn IT Knowledge Base. Information in regard to course modalities (instruction modes) can be found here: registrar.uconn.edu/course-modalities. Class registration results in automatic generation of a bill.

Pay your bill

Your bill will be available in Student Administration within 24 hours of course registration. Your bill must be paid by the due date. The due date can be found in the email that you receive from the Bursar’s Office. If you have enrolled in a course(s) after the due date, payment must be made within ten days.

If unpaid, a late fee will be assessed. If you are unable to pay for the course(s) or choose not to take the course(s), you must formally drop the course(s) within the published refund deadlines. Failure to properly drop the course(s) or make payment will result in referral to a collection agency.

Payment for your course(s) is processed through the University’s Student Administration System. Detailed instructions are available on the Bursar’s website.

Common Error Messages and Registration Restrictions

You can easily see what a course requires for enrollment when you are searching for classes on classes.uconn.edu. After you have found your desired class from the search page, look under “Registration Restrictions” for the section you have selected. Requirements for enrollment will be listed here including prerequisites, class standing requirements, instructor consent, etc. You will only be able to enroll in courses where you have met these requirements. If you do not meet the requirements for a course, you will receive an error message upon attempting to enroll, including a large red X.

You will not be able to register for a specific class if any of the following common error messages, and what they indicate, are true:

  • The class is full: All classes have an enrollment limit, but instructors may be able to enroll a student into a closed class with a permission number. Instructors are under no obligation to enroll a student once the class is full. Lab courses and W courses cannot be overenrolled due to safety concerns and/or university policy. If the class has a waitlist and you wish to be added to it, you can resubmit your enrollment request after selecting the “Wait List” option. If you have been put on a Wait List, you will be contacted via email if a spot becomes available.
  • Requisites have not been met: This indicates that you are ineligible to enroll in the class, or the remaining seats in the class are reserved for specific student populations. It may be a class open to upperclassmen only, open to freshman only, open to major students only, etc. This error message will also appear if you have already completed relevant course material. For example, students who have completed English 1010, Seminar in Academic Writing, cannot enroll in English 1004, Introduction to Academic Writing.
  • Prerequisites have not been met: This indicates that the class requires completion of previous course material in order to qualify for enrollment. Although you may have taken coursework elsewhere, if your UConn transcript does not demonstrate successful completion of the course’s prerequisites, you will need permission to register. Your instructor may require proof of prerequisite completion.
  • Instructor Consent Required: Certain courses only allow enrollment with instructor permission. See the UConn Directory for instructor contact information.
  • Time Conflict: This indicates a time overlap with classes you are already enrolled in. Search for other sections of the same course or a different course offered at another time.
  • Term Maximum Exceeded: Adding this class would exceed the maximum number of credits allowed for the semester. Non-degree students are able to enroll in up to eight credits per semester.
  • The class is a graduate-level course.

Overriding Registration Restrictions

To override registration restrictions, you may contact the instructor via their UConn email address to politely request placement on the course’s permission list. If granted placement on the permission list, the restriction should be overridden, and you should be able to self-register into the course.

Please note: The instructor is under no obligation to place you on their permission list.

If the instructor does grant you placement on the course permission list, you must resubmit your enrollment attempt in Student Admin.
