Banner Waitlisting and Registration Override Request (ROR)

Does my course use ROR or Banner Waitlist?

Logging in to Course List will help you determine whether your course is using the ROR application or Banner Waitlist.
  • Log in to the Course List (top right-hand corner of the page using your unique ID and password).
  • Search for the course you want to add.
  • When the results are displayed, review the information displayed in the “Enrollment” column.  This column will tell you the current capacity of the course and whether you have the option to “Submit Registration Override Request” or “Join Waitlist on BannerWeb.”  If the course has a waitlist, you can also see the capacity of it.

Registration Override Request (ROR)

How to submit an ROR

Students will access ROR from the Course List for all Regionals courses.

  1. Log in to the Course List (top right-hand corner of page) using your unique ID and myMiami password.
  2. Determine if the course is part of the ROR system, by selecting the ? following Registration Override Request Instructions (upper left corner).
  3. Search for the course you want to request to be added to.
  4. Select Submit Registration Override Request.
    1. Rank the sections you are willing to accept (in order of preference). Note: It is encouraged to be flexible and accept other courses. This allows you the best chance of receiving an ROR.
    2. Provide a reason for the request including your graduation month and year, when you completed the prerequisite course(s), extenuating circumstances, other courses requested, and additional information that may be helpful for the department to know about your request.
  5. Select Submit. You will receive a confirmation email that the request was received.

For further assistance with ROR procedures, please see the ROR Student Guide and ROR FAQ. 

Your registration time ticket must be open to submit a Registration Override Request. Please note that ROR will override time conflicts. You must check your BannerWeb schedule for time conflicts and resolve them by dropping courses. If you are registering for more than 20 hours, excess hours must be pre-approved. Students are limited to 17 hours during the initial registration period.

To check the status of your request at any time, log in to the Course List and click Requests. Please be patient, do not call or email the department.

  • Until your request is reviewed and acted upon, it will remain in a pending status. You may edit or delete pending requests until the request submission deadline.
  • You will receive an email notification whenever actions are taken on your request (submission, editing, deletion, approval, or denial).
