About major restriction

You may wish to restrict certain courses to only students in specific majors. For example, perhaps only nursing students can take upper-level nursing courses.

Prerequisites

• Course must exist in the course catalog.

Required permissions

To respect major restrictions, the student or person registering the student must belong to a group with permissions that don’t allow overriding this restriction.

To force users in a permission group to respect a major restriction, adjust their permission groups accordingly.

• Permission 347 under the My Info permission module. Set to NA to prevent students adding classes that are restricted to a major other than the student's.

• Permission 532 under the My Info permission module. Do not set to NA to prevent students adding classes that are restricted to a major other than the student's.

• Permission 346 under the Student permission module. Set to NA to prevent administrative staff adding classes that are restricted to a major other than the student's.

• Permission 569 under the Student permission module. Set to NA to prevent administrative staff adding classes that are restricted to a major other than the student's. 

• Permission 568 under the Student permission module. Do not set to NA to prevent administrative staff adding classes that are restricted to a major other than the student's.
