Troubleshoot Registration Issues in Workday
When registering for an academic period a student is unable to register for a course section, they should check the following:
• Holds on their account
• Active Registration Appointment
• Required Pre-requisites have been satisfied
If after checking the above a student is still unable to register, students can run the Troubleshoot Registration tasks.

Step 1: Search Troubleshoot Registration – Select Troubleshoot Registration

Step 2: Select Academic Period – Select Course

Step 3: Select OK
