• Fill out the Advising worksheet in the email we have sent you.
• Review and highlight the M.E. Curriculum sheet.
• Double check your meeting time.
• Come with questions!
• Finally, be patient! Advising is meant to help relieve some of the stress Registration brings.

Error codes are messages given when there needs to be further action taken to register.

Online courses also require you to request an override from the department of the course you are attempting to add. For example, if you are attempting to add an EM (Aerospace) class, you must contact the Aerospace department!

You may enroll in online education courses; however, tuition is charged per credit hour and may exceed the full term maximum. Online courses do not fit into the tuition cap. An instructional support fee and additional fees may also apply. Be sure to consult your academic advisor prior to registering for any online education course.

Online courses require different permissions and incur different costs.

Course Codes

• Meridian Campus - 202
• Online Education - 501 or 502

If you cannot sign the form: ATTACH and EMAIL the form to mepaperwork@bagley.msstate.edu, and EXPLAIN that you like to enroll in the courses listed in the document (EX : I would like to take MA 1713 at EMCC). We will use this in place of your signature.
Please allow 4-5 business days for processing. You will receive a confirmation email from the MEAA Office once it has been processed.
You will also receive an email from Dr. Green if the courses have been approved.

*STEPS TWO THROUGH FOUR WILL BE DONE WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE SUMMER COURSE*

Step 2: Once you have completed the prerequisite courses, you MUST contact the respective department and request a prerequisite override.

Step 3: Once you have received your final grade, you will FIRST complete the OVERRIDE FORM or EMAIL the respective department. DO NOT REQUEST an override until you can provide proof of your final grade.

Step 4: Next, you will email your unofficial transcript or screenshot of your final grade to the email address associated with the respective department.

A waitlist is a feature in Banner that allows students to REQUEST a class capacity override for a full class.

All ME courses have the waitlist feature EXCEPT for classes with a linked Lecture and Lab (ME 2113 and ME 3103). You MUST submit a request using the ME OVERRIDE FORM.

MUST USE WAITLIST FOR THE CLASSES LISTED BELOW

How do I join a waitlist?

1. Enter registration as NORMAL.
2. Find the class you are wanting to join the waitlist for.
3. Add as normal. If the class is eligible for waitlist, after pressing SUBMIT the student will receive an error code. (Closed – 0 on waitlist). The dropdown menu should display a WAITLIST option.
4. Click the waitlist.
5. Click SUBMIT

You are now on the waitlist! Classes are capacity only, meaning you must WAIT. You cannot be forced into the class by anyone.

How can I view my status on the Waitlist?

1. Go to schedule details in Banner registration.
2. Under the class, there should be a detail named Waitlist Position. The words are small, so be sure to read thoroughly. This information tells you which place in line you are!

Overrides are given to students in order to register for classes that have restrictions.

How to request an Override

It is important to know that only the department that teaches the course has the authority to grant an override. You will need to email the appropriate department to request an override. For example, if you are trying to register for EM 2413, only the Aerospace department can grant an override.

Examples of overrides include:

• Prerequisite - You may not currently meet prerequisite requirements
• Class Capacity - Course is at capacity limits (within room max capacities)
• Repeat Limit & Hours - You've already taken the course and passed, but you're planning on retaking it
• Major or College - You are not currently enrolled in the Major or Academic College for that course
• Student Classification - You are not classified as the required level, such as Junior standing

Email Requirements

If you need to request an override for a course, please email the appropriate contact within the department/college.
Your email must include:

• First name, Last name
• 9-digit MSU ID number
• NetID
• Override requested (Ex : Capacity, prerequisite, repeat, etc.)
• Course Number and Section (Ex : MA 1713-02)
• Course Title
• The Semester you plan to take the course (Ex : Fall 2024)
• Explanation (if needed)

Once an override has been placed on your record, you must register for the course online in the same way that you register for any other course.

Please keep in mind that not all override requests can be granted.

Part of our job at the MEAA Office is tracking our students who are close to graduating. Our top priority is student success, and we WILL make every effort to ensure that you graduate on time. We appreciate your patience during this process.

How to be proactive

Yes, but you have to meet certain GPA criteria to exceed 18 hours.

Please keep in mind that we DO NOT encourage students to take an overload. Experience has shown that those who try to get ahead by taking heavier loads generally do not get ahead and their grades suffer in addition.
