• Reading the error message carefully. SA will tell you what the problem is.
• Remembering that SA is a program. It does exactly what it has been written to do, and cannot make assumptions. If you don't have your pre-requisites lined up exactly as they have been defined for a course, or you're in violation of some sort of rule (like a time conflict, or exceeding maximum number of credits), SA is not going to allow you to proceed.This is also true of the way instructors must issue permissions, and departments build courses in the schedule- details that are overlooked can make a big impact on registration.
• Returning to the start. Did you remember to check the "Wait List if class is full" box? Did you need Departmental Consent? Are you sure that there weren't time conflicts with any components of your other classes? As course registration heats up and classes start to fill, sometimes the best way of making sure that you've addressed all of the possible things that could be contributing to your error message is to delete a course from your shopping cart and go back through the process of trying to add it to your schedule from the beginning. Don't think of this as a failure...even very experienced students (and advisors) have to do this during peak registration times.

Some common error messages, and ways to troubleshoot them:

• CHEM405 will only be offered in Fall semesters and CHEM405L will only be offered in Spring semesters
• Students who declare a Chemistry BS degree beginning Fall 2015 will be required to take CHEM405L and one advanced elective
