Alternate PIN
To register online for a given semester, you will need an additional pin number. To get your Alternate PIN number, take your proposed schedule to your advisor for his or her approval. After approving your schedule, your advisor can issue your Alternate PIN. This Alternate PIN is valid for registering for only one particular semester, and you will have to get a different Alternate PIN for each semester. If your advisor is not available, check with the department chair or department secretary for that department's policy on Alternate PIN's. If you elect to pre-register in person, your advisor must sign your registration form.
Banweb Registration Errors Explained
The “Registration Errors” box lists those classes you tried unsuccessfully to register for. The Status column explains why you were not able to register for the class.

The Registrar’s Office will override this error with no further paperwork. It is up to you to make arrangements with your instructors.
