Are you attempting to register for a class that is scheduled at the same time as a class you've already registered for? If you receive a time conflict error, review the meeting times for the classes that you've already enrolled in to determine if it overlaps with the class you're attempting to add.

Are you attempting to register for two courses with the same course subject and number? Some courses only allow you to take a course once. Contact the academic department if you receive a duplicate course error.
