• Suppressed line number error: means the course requires instructor approval to register. In order to register for a class that is suppressed you will need to contact the instructor via email and request permission to join the class. The instructor (if approves) will give you an ‘override’ in the system that will allow you to then register yourself for the course.

Attribute restriction – some online classes require students to be designated online students to register. Field of study restriction – program you are getting your degree in. If you have a restriction error you will need to contact the instructor and receive approval from them for an ‘override’ so you can register yourself for the class.
• Closed Section error: means the class is full (see below)

Some courses are built as satisfactory/unsatisfactory grading. If you are taking a graded course you have the option to elect the S/U option for the course if it is not required for your major or minor, the student must file the request form with the Registrar’s Office. Of the 180 term hours required for the bachelor’s degree, you may elect up to 36 for S/U (courses offered only on an S/U basis are not included in the 36-hour limit). The grade of S indicates a grade comparable to a grade of C- or better. An S/U grade may be elected for any course except those used to meet specific program requirements, unless it is allowed by the academic college offering the course. If a required course is offered only on an S/U basis, it may be counted in the major program. If students have questions regarding which courses can be taken S/U, they should see their faculty adviser If you are repeating a course to raise a grade, a grade of “U” is not considered to be a higher grade than a “D” or “F”. A U grade is not counted toward degree progress.

A non-admitted student is a person who feels academically qualified to enroll for classes at EOU but does not desire to be admitted to the university. Non-admit status is specifically designed for a person who desires to take a limited number of courses, often to transfer back to another school for degree completion.

• Not admitted students cannot earn a degree or certificate from Eastern Oregon University. 
• Non-admitted students are not eligible to receive federal financial aid.
• Non-admitted student are allowed to take up to 8 credits hours per academic term, summer term is an exception and non-admit students can take up to 21 credits.
  • If a non-admit student wants to take more than 8 credits winter, spring or fall terms an email can be sent to admissions@eou.edu requesting permission to take additional credits. 
• Non-admitted students are not required to submit official transcripts to EOU. Non-admit students can run into registration issues with course pre-requisites errors. If students run into pre-requisite errors students are encouraged to connect with course instructors about those errors. Non-admit students can show the instructor(s) an unofficial copy of transcripts to verify pre-requisite courses have been completed.
