Why am I getting a campus restriction registration error?

Coles College reserves some W01 and W02 online sections of our courses for students in online-only degree programs. Some courses may include additional sections under the restrictions. Those courses are generally limited to our Upper-division and Lower-division core but may have the occasional major requirement or elective included as well.

Those reserved courses are not available to students (including transient students) that are not in a declared online degree program. We are unable to override that restriction, but the restriction will be lifted prior to Drop-/Add. Any remaining seats will be available to all students on a first-come, first-served basis.
