Error Messages

On occasion, you may receive an error message while registering for classes on FlashLine. Use the guide below to better understand error messages and how to resolve them.

You May Not Add or Drop Classes Due to Holds on Your Record.

The student has a hold.

  • The student or advisor may view their Registration Status pages to determine if there are holds that prevent registration.

The Student is Not Permitted to Register at This Time.

Every student is assigned a default registration PIN for a specific term. The registration PIN allows a student to access registration on SSB during their designated registration time slot. The PIN assignment may also be maintained to enforce mandatory advising.

Students and advisors can view their Registration Status pages in FlashFAST to determine the student’s registration window. 

 

If the student is not permitted to register at the time, one of the following messages may display.

If no Registration PIN is assigned the student will receive the following message:

  • Your registration window has not been assigned for <term>. Please contact us at 330-672-3131.

If the student has a Registration PIN assigned, but their registration window for the term has not opened yet, the student will receive the following message:
