Next select the Search Again green button and then click the grey Search button to find a course that is not in conflict based on the error message that you can hover over. In this example, HIST 1 was closed and only available for waitlisting and HIST C1001 had an open section.

Since the student wanted either of those for their plan, they chose to register into HIST C1001, the open section and added that to their registration.
