Registration Challenges
Why can't I register for a course?
There may be a variety of reasons for being unable to register for courses. We've outlined some general questions and scenarios below:
Have you met the pre-requisites and co-requisites to the course?
Most courses have pre-requisites and/or co-requisites. A pre-requisite is a course that must be taken before another. A co-requisite is a course that may be taken at the same time. Check the Class Schedule to determine any pre-requisites and/or co-requisites of a course. An example is the business capstone course (Mgmt449) which, has a pre-requisite of all lower division and upper division business core.
CLASS SCHEDULE
Are you attempting to register for a concentration course?
All concentration coursework is restricted to pre-majors (Example: Pre-Business). Once you declare a concentration and your Titan Degree Audit (TDA) is officially updated through the university, you will be able to successfully enroll in your concentration coursework.
- NOTE: You must successfully complete all lower-division business courses before you can declare your concentration.
DECLARE A CONCENTRATION
Do you have any holds on your Titan Online Student Center?
Holds restrict enrollment. You will want to click on the "Details" link on the "Holds" section on your Titan Online Student Center to find out more information on how to remove the hold and the appropriate department to contact.
Are you attempting to enroll in a Business Honors section?
If a course section is notated with "Topic: Honors" or has a section number of -40 through -49, this specific section of a course is restricted unless you are a Business Honors student. If you are not a Business Honors student, you are unable to enroll in this section of the course.

Create a Semester Schedule
We understand that registration can be an exciting and stressful time of the year. To plan ahead for registration it is recommended you review Registration & Records procedures and policies, which include registration details, the registration guide, and deadlines through the Registration and Records website. In addition, the Business Advising Center has developed several options to assist you with mapping out your educational plan each semester.
Create Your Semester Schedule
Work independently to draft an educational plan, using multiple resources available to assist you. Review the following resources when planning for each semester.
-
Titan Degree Audit (TDA)

The TDA is an important advising tool for Cal State Fullerton students. The TDA report includes your general education and major requirements, as well as other unit and scholastic requirements. To obtain your TDA, go to TITAN Online through your Student Portal and select Student Academics. Additional information about the TDA is available via the Division of Academic Affairs website or the TDA online tutorial.

TitanNet Academic Planner
Note: The requirement sheets, roadmaps and TitanNet Academic Planner are tools to be used to help you plan your class schedule; however, you will need to follow the degree requirements found in your Titan Degree Audit (TDA) to ensure you are enrolling in appropriate courses for your degree.
Check My Schedule
The Business Advising Center will offer an in-person or virtual Check My Schedule option; which are hosted in March/April and October/November. Invitations will be emailed to all students prior to their registration.
For our (In-Person) Check My Schedule, you will bring a tentative class schedule for the upcoming semester. Instead of scheduling an appointment, stop by the workshop and get a second opinion, from an advisor, on your schedule. With you, advisors will review the schedule you created and provide feedback.
For our (Virtual) Check My Schedule campaign you have an opportunity to submit your tentative class schedule for the upcoming semester online. A business advisor will review the schedule you created and provide feedback within 72 business hours.
Meet One-On-One with a Business Advisor
Advisors are available year round to assist you with your registration questions through virtual or in-person appointments, we do not offer drop-in advising. When meeting with a Business Advisor please arrive to your advising session prepared with your questions and needed documents. The advising center becomes very busy during registration, the start of the semester, and during orientation and the center does reach capacity. It is recommended that you plan ahead and meet with an advisor during non-busy times! Optimal months to visit an advisor are: Feb, May, Aug, Sept, & Dec.
Note: As part of the shared responsibility held by you and the advisors, when discussing what to take in the upcoming semester, you are required to bring in a tentative class schedule. This is your academic journey, and the advisors are here to guide you through the process rather than simply directing.
