Class is closed with a waitlist

If the class has a waitlist, students must add themselves to it and watch for an email confirmation once enrolled. We recommend that students check their CSUSB email account daily!

How to Enroll to the Waitlist

Class is closed without a waitlist

If the class is closed and does not have a waitlist, students may submit a Permission Request to attempt to enroll. The course will only be added if the request is approved and the student's schedule can accommodate the additional course. Please see Defining Additional Permissions for more information.

Registering for classes in the second week through Census

Class is open or closed

Submit a Permission Request to request enrollment in courses. The course will only be added if the request is approved and the student's schedule can accommodate the additional course. Please see Defining Additional Permissions for more information.

Defining Additional Permissions

While registering for classes through myCoyote, students may receive an error message indicating the reason the class was not added to your class schedule.  

Class Is Closed (Full)

Instructor permission is required for all closed classes. If the class has a waitlist, students can add themselves, and the system will add them if capacity becomes available. If the class has no waitlist, students can submit a Permission Request to gain consent to enroll in the course.

Department or Instructor Consent Required

The instructor or department of the class must check that you meet the requirements for the course. Requirements may include prerequisites, corequisites, GPA, declared major, or class level. In most cases, this request to enroll can be submitted via Permission Request. Students may also follow up with the instructor and/or department for more information and updates.

Requisites Not Met

Requirements may include prerequisites, corequisites, GPA, declared major, or class level. Students may contact the department directly to address prerequisites. Otherwise, a Permission Request may be submitted for Instructor/Department Consent. If a Permission Request is submitted with ONLY "Requisites" is checked - the request will route to Office of the Registrar for a prerequisite check (we will account for any exceptions made to the PAWS Report). If additional consent is being requested (requisites not met, class-level not met), ensure to ALSO check "Department or Instructor Consent".

Time Conflict

If a time conflict exists with another class the student is already enrolled in, then a request for Simultaneous Enrollment is needed. Both class instructors and department chairs must grant permission to register.

Max Units Exceeded

To be eligible, students must have an overall 3.0 GPA or higher and earn a 3.0 GPA or higher in the previous term. For Fall/Spring semesters, students may request to enroll in more than the maximum enrollment units allowed (18 units for undergraduates and 15 for graduates).

For Summer Session, a total of 14 max units will be allowed for the term with a maximum of 7 units per Six Week Session (6W1/6W2) for undergraduates and graduates.
