Permission Required
Restricted Registration (By Permission) Courses are those for which a student cannot register through MyAccess due to program or departmental restrictions, application or professor-permission requirements, etc.
NOTE: If a course requires an application or the professor’s permission for enrollment, the requirement and instructions for applying will be noted in the Course Schedule. If no specific instructions are given, you must email the professor to gain admission to the course. Students will be manually enrolled in restricted registration courses.
Potential Time Conflict
During live-registration, you may waitlist for courses with time conflicts. However, once you win a seat a waitlist lottery seat, MyAccess will not allow you to enroll in courses with time conflicts- you will need to adjust your schedule accordingly prior to accepting your winning waitlist seat.
Prerequisite Not Met
If a course has a prerequisite, you will not be able to waitlist for or be enrolled in that course unless (1) you have satisfied the prerequisite or (2) you have submitted a written waiver from the professor to the Office of the Registrar at lawreg@georgetown.edu. Consult an academic advisor if you are unsure whether you have met the prerequisite(s).
