All students are assigned a time assignment each semester, even if the student is graduating. Time assignments are based on credits completed; therefore, the semester that the student is currently enrolled in does not count toward this. Time assignments may not be changed or switched. On the day and time of your assignment, students can begin registering.

• Business hold: This will prevent you from adding and dropping courses. You will need to contact the Office of Student Financial Services to get the hold resolved.
• Adviser hold: This will prevent you from adding and dropping courses yourself. You will need adviser approval to do so. Contact your adviser via email and then forward their permission to regrec@elmhurst.edu. Make sure to include your name and eNumber.

When you go to add the course on Self Service, you will notice a message in yellow that states what courses must be completed prior to taking this course, meaning that you are unable to take the course until you have completed the prerequisites.

If You are Currently in a Prerequisite Course

If you are currently in the prerequisite course, please fill out the add/drop form and make a note at the bottom that you are currently in the prerequisite.

If Your Instructor Overrides a Prerequisite

If you have not completed the prerequisite course but the instructor gives you permission to be added to the course, the Registration and Records Office will register you. If they gave permission via email, forward that email to regrec@elmhurst.edu. If they filled out a prerequisite exception form, you can scan and email it to regrec@elmhurst.edu or bring it into the Registration and Records Office.

This must be done through the course instructor. Please contact and coordinate with them to begin the process.
