Workday blocking BIOL 131/133 registration (open seats but restricted) – HELP
Hey everyone,
I’m a Biology major and I'm trying to register for BIOL 131 (Term 1) and BIOL 133 (Term 2).
Workday is completely blocking me from registering specifically the lab section after the lab section that I was able to put in saved schedule got closed. I checked my timetable, and other open lab sections fit into my current schedule perfectly with no time conflicts. Lecture section is open as well. I can literally see that there are open seats available in those specific labs, but the system won't let me add the lecture and lab together.
The warning gives me “During course registrations, you won't be able to register for this course section because you don't meet the eligibility requirements for the reserved seats and the unreserved seats are at full capacity. Replace the course section if you can't resolve this issue.”
The exact course notes in Workday say:
"This course has prioritized registration: School of Nursing students; BIOL/BIOC students; Science students and then general registration. Any reserved seats not filled by SoN will be released 2 weeks after 1st year registration begins."
Has anyone dealt with this specific Nursing restriction before?
First-year registration opened on June 22/23, which means the 2-week mark lands right around early July. Does Workday automatically unlock the seats the exact second that 2 weeks hits?
Should I email ugbiology.okanagan@ubc.ca to get a manual override right now, or will they just ignore me and make me wait out the 2 weeks?
I need this sequence to apply for my Master's degree later, so I'm stressed about losing a spot. Any advice on what to do next would be amazing. Thanks!
