  • Academic Regulations Committee (ARC): https://www.usf.edu/arts-sciences/students/undergraduate/arc-petitions.aspx
  • Holds – check your account to see what kind of hold you have and what action is required from you
    - AA:  First year advising hold: you must first complete the CAS AA Tutorial in Canvas and email your major advisor (an appointment is optional, but strongly recommended) 
    - AP:  Academic Probation: you must schedule an appointment (CAS students must first complete the AP Tutorial in Canvas)

  • If you are getting an error message when you attempt to register, then one of the following common issues may apply:
    -  The course does not exist or is no longer available (e.g., cancelled section)
    -  Double-check that the CRN matches
    -  Double-check the semester in which you are searching for classes
    -  The course is full
    -  The course is class/level restricted, which usually means that you must be at least a junior (or post-baccalaureate) to register
