Priority registration in many courses will be given to students who meet specified programs of study, such as admission to a degree program (including diplomas and certificates) and certain majors, minors or concentrations.

Reserves and restrictions may vary according to course section. You should check all sections of a course to determine if you are eligible to register for it.

If you change your academic program after registering, any course reserves or restrictions in effect will be enforced. When your program change is processed, your registration will be reviewed and any course section for which you do not meet course reserve or restriction requirements will be dropped from your schedule.

At the academic unit's discretion, reserved seating and course restrictions may be lifted after all undergraduate students have had the opportunity to register (see Important Dates and Deadlines for the specific date each semester). See below for a detailed explanation of how reserved and restricted courses work with waitlists.

Reserved Courses

If reserves exist for a course and you do not meet the requirements of the reserve you will be waitlisted for that course. 

When reserves are lifted, if you were waitlisted for a course which was initially reserved, you may get a seat in that course. Check your @mun.ca email for any waitlist notification emails.

Restrictions

If a course has restrictions, you will not be able to add this course to your registration. If you try and register for a restricted course using the CRN you will receive one of the following errors when trying to register:

• Campus Restriction
• Cohort Restriction
• Degree Restriction
• Field of Study Restriction

To view course restrictions, use the Browse Classes menu in Student Self-Service. Search for the class and in the search results click the course name.

In the pop-up box, click the grey Restrictions button. Restrictions will be listed to the right.

You cannot waitlist for a course if you do not meet the course restrictions. If the course is set to have the restrictions lifted, return to self-service at the conclusion of undergraduate registration and see if seats are available.
