Prerequisites/error messages
- Transfer student transcripts are not fully processed before you enroll in summer, so in most cases you need to take an extra step to show proof of completed prerequisites before you enroll in classes that require them.
- If you try to enroll and get an error message, don’t worry – this is common. Follow the next steps for “newly admitted students” in the Class Notes section in Class Search (opens March 15 for Summer Quarter 2025). Our Enrolling in Classes page has all the details.
