Peter tries to enroll into Econ 20A for winter quarter. He gets this error on WebReg. What does this mean?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question presents a scenario about trying to enroll in Econ 20A and receiving an error on WebReg. We must evaluate all answer choices and explain why each is correct or incorrect before identifying the correct option.

Option 1: 'The course has a major restriction. The student must wait until the specific major restriction lifts. This date is listed in the gray box at the top of the schedule of classes.'
- This option accurately reflects common WebReg messages: when a course is restricted by a major, students often see a clock or date indicating when eligibility opens, and the gray box at the top of the schedule of classes typically contains restrictions or dates. The image and the description imply a prerequisite or restriction gating enrollment, making this explanation consistent with standard registrar communications. Therefore, this option correctly describes the meaning of the error.

Option 2: 'Peter should contact his advisor to get a special code to add the class.'
- While advisor involvement can be part of resolving enrollment issues, the specific error message shown in the scenario (reference to a gray box with a date) does not imply that a special permission code is required. Special permissions are often used for override codes or instructor consent, but the description emphasizes a date when the major restriction lifts, not a need for a code. Consequently, this statement misinterprets the root cause indicated by the error.

Option 3: 'The student can never add this class and is always prohibited from enrolling into Econ 20A.'
- This is an absolute prohibition. In most academic systems, a restriction is temporary or conditional (e.g., until a date or until the student meets major requirements), not an unconditional ban. The reference to a gray box with a date suggests a time-limited restriction rather than an eternal prohibition. Thus, this option overstates the constraint and is incorrect.

Option 4: 'The course is open to all students without restrictions.'
- This directly contradicts the scenario, which states there is an error related to a restriction. If there were no restrictions, WebReg would allow enrollment or proceed without a restriction message. The presence of an error indicating a restriction means the statement of no restrictions is false. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

In summary, option 1 identifies the policy gate (major restriction with a lift date) that commonly appears in WebReg messages, while options 2, 3, and 4 misinterpret the nature, duration, or existence of the restriction based on the given error context.
