BannerWeb FAQ
The Registrar's Office does not reset pins. For students who have not activated their account: If this is the first time you are accessing BannerWeb, go to https://bannerweb.richmond.edu/pin.html for information on your initial Login. You will be prompted to change your PIN by entering a new unique six-character PIN twice. You should also create and answer the security questions for future use in re-setting a forgotten PIN. Be sure to write this number down and save it in a secure place for future reference. Do not give your PIN to anyone else. University Policy prohibits access to the system by anyone other than the authorized user.

It means the course you wanted has a second part which must be added simultaneously with the first part. Usually these "additional sections" are labs or drills which accompany a lecture. For Modern Language drills, you need to match the lecture section number (e.g. 02) with the appropriate drill section (e.g. D2A or D2B). The number in the middle must match the number of the section. For most other courses, like the sciences, you may register for whichever lab section best fits your schedule (provided that lab section is open).

Some things to keep in mind:
- Continue to check BannerWeb while registration is still open as students may drop and add classes during this time.
- If other sections of the same course are still open, the chair may be understandably reluctant to over-enroll the closed section.
- Some courses cannot be over-enrolled due to seating or facility capacity (a good example are computer classrooms, which have a limited number of computers).
- If it is possible for you to take the course in a later term, you may need to do that.
You will need to go to the chair of the department offering the class and request departmental approval. Usually these classes are independent studies, internships, or classes offered only once.

A class year restriction prevents students with certain class standings from registering for certain courses. Senior seminars are frequently restricted so that only fourth-year students may register. Similarly, other courses are restricted to first-year and second-year students. Remember that class standing is calculated strictly by the number of earned units, not by the year you entered the University. Consult the undergraduate catalog for more information.

Major declarations are entered through the first two weeks of each semester. If you submit a declaration after this time, you declaration form will be held and entered at the end of the term. Therefore, you would not be able to register for a course with a major restriction w/out a departmental override. Major restrictions are unilaterally removed prior to sophomore registration (College and class restrictions are never removed).

A class with a major restriction will not allow anyone but students with the major to register for the class. Department chairs use this restriction to ensure that majors have the first opportunity to register, even if they are juniors. Major restrictions are lifted prior to sophomore registration (college and class restrictions are never lifted). If you have a minor, you will need to receive an override from the department in order to register for the class during priority registration.

If you are a business student, you may not opt to take a class on a pass/fail basis, even if the course is offered by another school.
If you are a leadership studies student, you may not take any leadership studies class on a pass/fail basis.
If you are an Arts & Sciences/Jepson (leadership studies) student who has completed at least 18 units of academic work, you may opt for one course per semester to be graded on a pass/fail basis. The course may not be used to satisfy any degree requirement other than total units of credit and, if taken in the major or minor, may not be used to satisfy requirements for either.
To opt for pass/fail grading, an Application for Pass/Fail, Audit must be obtained from and returned with appropriate signatures to the Office of the University Registrar no later than the end of the tenth day of classes. Once the form is submitted to the University Registrar, the decision may not be reversed.

You must register for a section of FYS 100 during the summer registration period. If the FYS 100 course you want is full, make an alternate selection because it is recommended that you register for a full schedule during summer registration. You can work with your advisor to add or drop courses when you arrive on campus during the registration adjustments for first-year students time period. If you do not register for a FYS 100 course, the Registrar's Office will select one for you and register you at the end of the summer registration period.
