If your registration request is denied on Albert after you’ve entered the call number on the Course Request form and clicked SUBMIT, the rejected course is displayed in the Course Request form with the reject explanation in the Error Message column. Click on the error icon of the course line for an expanded description of the error condition and the options for resolving the problem.

Some possible displays for a rejected request are listed below:

• Mis-typing - If your course request is denied because you mis-typed or forgot to add necessary information, the denied course is redisplayed with your original entries and the error entry is flagged for identification. Note that the ADD option in the FUNCTION column remains pre-selected. You can do one of two things:
   a. To cancel this request, unselect the ADD option. Reset this drop-down table by selecting the blank or empty option.
OR
   b. To process this request, correct the error and press the SUBMIT button. Use the pop-up message of the error entry to guide your corrections. The system ignores any course request lines which do not include a function selection.

• Major Restriction - Some courses are coded on Albert as being open only to students in particular schools or departments. If you encounter an error message saying a course has a "major restriction," contact Gallatin's Office of Advising, (212) 998-7320, to learn if it is possible to obtain special permission to register.

• Prerequisite - If Albert tells you that you do not have a necessary prerequisite for a course, you can look for an alternative, perhaps introductory, course that is not restricted. If you feel you have met the prerequisite for a restricted course, contact Gallatin's Office of Advising, (212) 998-7320, to learn how to proceed. NOTE: In such cases, departments generally require that you provide written documentation, such as AP scores or a college transcript.

• Closed Course - If a course is closed the following options may appear in the FUNCTION column, and you can select one of them:

“WAITLIST” – This choice will add you to the electronic waitlist (If you choose to use the electronic waitlist, you MUST read the policy and procedures governing the waitlist at Waitlisting for Courses)
“SEARCH” – This choice will allow you to see if other sections of this course are open
