The ROR is used by students to:

• Request a seat in a course that is closed and not utilizing a waitlist or
• Request a seat in a course that is open but inaccessible to the student due to registration errors (e.g., prerequisite/test score not met, major/minor/thematic restrictions, time conflicts, etc).

There are only a few courses that do not use either ROR or Banner Waitlist. This information along with other general information about the application is available by clicking on the > next to “Registration Override Request Instructions” at the top of the Course List page.

There are a few reasons this may occur and you are required to take action before the course will be added to your registration.If you do not resolve the error and/or contact the course department once the error is resolved, you will not be added to the course.

No. You may not resubmit a request if you are denied. You may request other sections that have not been previously requested, but if you are denied for all sections, you should contact your academic advisor to explore additional course options.
