To be considered full-time during the regular academic year (fall and spring semesters), students must register for a minimum of 12 credit hours. For most full-time students, the recommended academic load per semester is 15 credit hours so that they can reach the graduation requirement of 120 credits during the course of a four-year period -- the typical undergraduate experience. During the academic year, a student may elect to attempt a maximum of 18 credit hours each semester, but such a heavy load is not recommended. Students are advised to leave themselves enough time to prepare adequately for all of their courses and to engage in other activities on campus. Each credit taken over sixteen per semester is charged an additional fee at a per-credit-hour rate. To register for more than 18 hours in a single semester, a student must obtain the permission from the Center for Advising and Academic Services.
The maximum number of credits for which a student may register during the January intersession is three; during the summer, a student may register for a maximum total of nine credits distributed over all Marist summer sessions. Exceptions can be made by the Center for Advising and Academic Services.
If you are NOT a part-time student and your schedule does not add up to at least twelve credits, be sure to see your advisor immediately so that he/she can help you add courses necessary to bring you up to full-time status. You must be full-time to qualify for most types of financial aid and for housing. You may be removed from housing if you do not meet the enrollment requirements. It is also important to be full-time for billing purposes.
If you need to add course-work to round out your schedule or if you wish to drop a course, you should review your audit, make additional selections, and see your advisor for review.

To answer this question, it is helpful for you to understand the system of prerequisites and restrictions that are part of the registration process. Contact the
Center for Advising and Academic Services for more information.
Over-ride Form (yellow)
If a course has reached its maximum enrollment, you may request an over-ride on a yellow Over-ride form. You will need to get the signatures from the faculty member of the class you wish to gain access into and the Dean/ Chair of the department of the course. The form should be brought to the School office for a School stamp. School offices have the ability to put an expiration date on the Over-ride Form. You then must bring the form to the Registrar’s Office. If you do not submit it to the Registrar’s Office by the expiration date, the form will not be honored. The Registrar’s Office will check to make sure you have all the information they need and then will process the change. You need to make sure you have room in your schedule for the change and that you do not exceed 16 credits if you are not intending on taking more.
Prerequisite Permit Form (green)
You will need to get the signature the Dean or Chair of the department of the course for which you wish to waive the prerequisite. The form should be brought to the School office for a School stamp. School offices have the ability to put an expiration date on the Prerequisite Permit Form. You then must bring the form to the Registrar’s Office. If you do not submit it to the Registrar’s Office by the expiration date, the form will not be honored. The Registrar’s Office will check to make sure you have all the information they need and then will grant the waiver. You will be asked to immediately use a nearby computer to register for the course once the Registrar’s staff has cleared the permission for you. It remains YOUR responsibility to register for the class.
You should first review your Degree Audit. Is the prerequisite there? If yes, contact the Registrar's Office to resolve the conflict. If the prerequisite is not listed on your audit, research why. Did you forget to have the Advanced Placement credits or transcript sent? Start the process immediately. Is there some other issue? Contact your advisor to explore your options.
A student may receive several messages if they have a hold such as financial or advisor on their record or it is not their scheduled time to register. If you do not see your error message below or you feel the error is incorrect, please contact the Registrar's Office.
"You have no Registration Time Ticket. Please contact the registration administrator for your time ticket."
If you received this error, it is not your time to register. Please check your earned credits/class standing on the Registration Status page in my.Marist.edu, then check the registration schedule.
"You have holds which will prevent registration."
Review your holds on my.Marist.edu. Resolve the holds with the appropriate office or your advisor.

If you would like to get permission to enter the course, pick up a pink Major/Minor/Class Restriction Permit Form from the Registrar's Office and request permission from the Dean/Chair of the Department of the course. The form should be brought to the School office for a School stamp. School offices have the ability to put an expiration date on the form. You then must bring the form to the Registrar’s Office. If you do not submit it to the Registrar’s Office by the expiration date, the form will not be honored. The Registrar’s Office will check to make sure you have all the information they need and then will grant the waiver. You will be asked to immediately use a nearby computer to register for the course once the Registrar’s staff has cleared the permission for you. It remains YOUR responsibility to register for the class.
"Closed section-course is maxed out and student will need an override."
Select another course section or request permission of the professor. You will need to use an Over-ride Form and have it signed by the professor and School office to complete the registration.
"Prerequisite & Test Score Error-Student has not met the prerequisites."
You have not met the necessary testing or prerequisite requirements. If you feel this is an error, contact the Registrar's Office.
