LORIS stands for Laurier Online Registration and Information System and is the tool used course registration, to confirm your program of study and much more.
If you come across any terms you don't understand, check our LORIS glossary for an explanation.
Error Messages
Requires Multiple Components
This link error means that there is either a tutorial or a lab linked together with the lecture that you have not selected. To correct this situation, select the lecture and the tutorial or lab from the list when performing the class search. Lectures carry the credit weight; labs and tutorials carry 0.0 weight.
Time Conflict Error
This link error means that you have selected either a lecture or a tutorial/lab at the same time as a course in which you are already registered. Either select the lecture at a different time, choose another course or drop the course causing the conflict.
Reserved Seating Error
This error means that the course has seats reserved for specific reasons determined by the department. If there are seats remaining, contact the department about your eligibility.
PREQ and TEST Score Error
This error means that you are attempting to register in a course that has a prerequisite. For example, before you can register in a first-year calculus course, you must write the online Calculus Preparation Evaluation (CPE). Similarly, some language courses may have a high school course as a prerequisite.
Course/Section is Full Error
You are attempting to register in a course that has already reached its capacity. On the LORIS screen, a “C” will show beside the course. Choose another course or keep checking LORIS, because students make changes during the summer and a space may open up. When searching for this course, you can see how many spots are available. Make your interest in the course known to the department. If a department has authorized wait listing to be used and the course is full, you will be prompted to add yourself to the wait list. Refer to the "wait list" term for instructions.
Class Restriction Error
This link error message means you are attempting to register in a course that is restricted due to year level.
Duplicate CRN Error
This link error means that you have already selected this course and perhaps have dropped it. If now you want to take this course go to the Add/Drop Classes screen, from the drop down menu beside the course, click on “Re-Enrol.” Then click on “Submit Changes” at the bottom of the screen.
You Have Exceeded the Maximum Hours Error
Year 1 students are limited to a maximum of 2.5 credits in a term, senior students are limited to 3.0 credits, and students on academic probation are limited to 2.0 credits. LORIS will not allow you to register in more. Contact your Academic Advisor for assistance.
Program and Major/Field of Study Restriction Error
Some programs have restrictions on certain courses or course sections in order to reserve space for students who are majoring in that particular program. These restrictions may be removed on a specific date, or may remain indefinitely. To see if the restriction will be removed, search the course in Browse Classes.
For more information, please refer to How to Waitlist.
Cohort Error
You are attempting to register in a cohort that is not part of your program. Select a section that is not restricted to a specific cohort.
