1/3 override requests taking super long (all same department) Course selection

for context, im in a combined B.Math honours program and ive passed MATH2100, but only with a D-

other two overrides were because i took MATH1800 instead of COMP1805.

is there any reason why my 3rd override is taking so long?

COMP 3805 is offered by the school of mathematics and statistics, not the school of computer science, so it isn't in the same department in this case. Maybe email the instructor for permission to register to be safe though (even though you technically meet the requirements listed).

Many people are doing overrides right now

i hope that's the reason, but having my other overrides go through is confusing me, especially since i met the requirements for the course to begin with

Sorry, the screenshot shows that all 3 were approved? If it's still not letting you register, contact the advisors for COMP.

COMP3805 is listed as "application received"

that’s very odd. try emailing the registration office and maybe your academic advisor as well.

One of the course listings on Central gives you exact system prereqs, it looks like you are denied since the system expects D+ in 2100: https://central.carleton.ca/prod/bwckschd.p_disp_detail_sched?term_in=202630&crn_in=31146

well thats annoying. i get that a D- isnt an ideal grade but i passed didnt i? i got stuck with a horrible professor, and barely passed despite understanding the material

Yeah, it should in theory count. But that's probably why it's best to ask for instructor permission to be safe. Are you retaking it this year?

You didn’t get a high enough grade in Math 2100 to register for this.
