MyBanner Registration Directions
Students began registering for classes in the new MyBanner on March 19th, 2007. For your convenience, written directions are available below to assist you in registering in MyBanner.
Grand Valley State University is committed to student retention, and the successful completion of courses is crucial to this effort. Satisfying pre-requisite requirements greatly enhances the likelihood of passing courses, particularly those in the upper division. Effective with registration for the Spring/Summer 08, Fall 08, Winter 09 and subsequent semesters, pre-requisites will be checked at the time students register for classes.
Students who attempt to register for a course and fail to meet the pre-requisites will see PRE-REQUISITE NOT MET at the time of registration. The course will not be added to the student's schedule. Students should address all questions regarding pre-requisites to the academic department.

Pre-requisite Policy and Student Appeal
If a student does not meet the pre-requisite for a course they wish to register for, they may request an override permit through the academic department.
Pre-requisite Procedure to Remove Student from Course
Current policy requires the student to drop the course they are currently enrolled in that requires a pre-requisite in which they failed to meet. It is the responsibility of the faculty/department to notify students accordingly.
The Deans' office will be given weekly reports of students who have failed the pre-requisite checking. They will notify the student within one day of receiving the report and request the student drop the course or appeal to the department for approval to remain in the course. The student will have five days to respond by either dropping the course or appealing. If the student fails to respond, the Deans' office will instruct the Registrar to drop the student. Upon receipt of this notification, the Registrar will notify the student that the course has been dropped.
