Common Registration Errors

Prerequisite and Test Score Error
means that there is something required before you can sign up for this class. It’s usually the completion of another course, but could also be a specific grade or test score. If you completed the prerequisite at another institution, you must have the official transcript sent to Auburn. In the meantime, contact your advisor for registration advise.
See course prerequisites (‘PR’ is the abbreviation for prerequisite)
Co-requisite Error
means that you need to sign up for an additional corresponding class during the same semester. For example, you need to register for the corresponding science lab for your science course.
Special note: When registering for a science lecture and lab, the lecture CRN must be entered in the CRN block in immediately front of the lab CRN block.
