First click on the class title to view the Class Details. Click on the Enforced Prerequisites tab to view enforced prerequisites. The Restrictions tab also provides details of other enforced restrictions for the class (ex: permission of instructor or department required.).
Holds can be viewed via Self-Service from the Student Profile. From your profile, click on Holds in the upper right corner to view active holds. You can click the arrow to the right of each hold to view the hold details.
Once the instructor has given the permit, you must enroll in the course via Self-Service. The Department offering the course may also be able to grant permission for you to enroll, particularly if there is not yet an instructor assigned to the class.
Enrolling in a class that results in a time conflict with another class on your schedule can only be allowed with written support from the instructors of both classes involved in the time conflict (overrides for time conflicts cannot be given online).
How can I enroll in a closed section? Although enrollment is not allowed in closed classes, you may be able to waitlist a closed class if the department has setup a waitlist. The department offering the class may also consider increasing the maximum enrollment.

Prepare for Registration allows you to view registration permits/overrides that have been granted to you, and a summary of your declared curriculum and earned hours. Check your Student Profile in Self-Service for other information related to your upcoming enrollment. It includes details of your student status, academic standing, holds, registration time ticket details, and other details. It is a great place to check for barriers which may prevent you from registering in the current or an upcoming term.
Withdrawn classes (classes that have been dropped during the restrictive drop/add period with an automatic grade of W assigned) and waitlisted classes (those in which you are not yet registered, but are on the registration waitlist) can be seen in the Register for Classes area.
