100 Level ENGL and WRS Registration Information

A small number of our ENGL 102, 103, 125 and WRS 101 classes are restricted to certain programs or student groups. You may encounter the following message attempting to enroll in a class that appears to have open seats:

"Restrictions are not met. This message refers to restrictions that have been placed on the course/class by the Teaching Department, such as: restricting the course to students in specific programs, or to specific major/minors, or to students in a specific year of their program, etc. Please check the Course or Class Notes in Bear Tracks for a description of the restrictions placed on this class. You can view the Course or Class Notes by processing a Class Search. You can also contact the Teaching Department for further information.

The new My Schedule Builder module in Bear Tracks now lists the class notes and restrictions in place for all sections of a given course; if the section you are trying to enroll in returns an error message or is closed to web registration, you are not eligible to enroll in this particular class.  Check the Class Remarks for the section you selected to find out why.

Below is a summary of 100-level classes with restrictions; if you are not in the specified program, you will not be permitted to register in the class.

  • ENGL 150 - As an “Introduction to the Discipline” course, registration priority is given to English Majors and Minors, and then all remaining students in Arts. However, if you are currently a non-Arts student interested in the class (as an elective or because you are considering changing your major/minor to English), you can email the department after August 15th to request to be considered for manual registration
  • Sections of ENGL 102, 103, and WRS starting with "F" (e.g. LEC F30A, F30C) are exclusively restricted to students in the Year One Foundation Program
  • Sections of ENGL 125 and WRS 101 starting with "Z" (e.g. LEC Z01, SEM Z50)  are exclusively restricted to students in the Transition Year Program
These sections are managed by their respective program and no exceptions can be made for non-program students.
