Related Area courses are upper-division courses from any of the subjects found in the Related Area Courses section on our undergraduate resources page. On-campus students obtaining a BA or BS in Communication need three Related Area courses.
Reserved classes mean that only certain groups of students are able to enroll. Just because a course says it is reserved doesn't automatically mean you can't enroll in it.
First, make sure you meet ALL of the prerequisites the course requires. Courses can have multiple prerequisites. If you meet all the prerequisites and are still getting this error message, contact your advisor.
Courses that require a Prerequisite must have that Prerequisite complete before they can take that course. Courses that require a Corequisite can be taken at the same time.
Classes can be added during the scheduled enrollment period as well as the add/drop period. They can be added during those times through the registration link on your myASU page. Once the add/drop period has ended students wanting to add a course should speak to their Academic Advisor.
Students can drop a course at any time during the add/drop period without penalty. After the add/drop period ends course drops become withdrawals. Students should always check the Academic Calendar to determine to add/drop dates and be aware that those dates are significantly shorter for Session A and Session B courses.
Any course dropped after the official Add/Drop date is considered a withdrawal. A withdrawal will remove the student from the course with a grade of W. This grade has no impact on GPA but can have repercussions with regards to financial aid or on-campus housing. Students should always speak to their advisor prior to withdrawing from a course.
