Welcome to Agentic Conversational Advising thatanswers a student from their own record rather than a policy page.
A student asks about registration at midnight. Risely's agents answer from her own record and cite the rule behind every claim, and anything that would change her plan waits for her advisor.

the student
"My registration window opens soon. Can I register for PSYC-310? I got a C- in PSYC-201."
the answer
Not this term: PSYC-310 needs a C or better in PSYC-201, and your posted grade is a C-. Two courses do fit your open slot and your window, PSYC-260 and SOC-215, and both keep your plan on schedule. If you want to retake PSYC-201 to qualify later, I can draft that for your advisor.

Risely's agents: a question lands, hours after the office closed
Every sentence in the answer names where it came from.
Risely's agents tie each claim to the transcript line, the catalog rule, or the plan behind it, so a student can check the answer and an advisor can stand behind it.

the re-solved sequence
An answer a student can check is an answer an advisor can stand behind.
The refusal is the easy half. The reply carries the alternatives.
Risely's agents check what the open slot, the window, and the remaining seats allow, and name the courses that still work. A student leaves the conversation with a decision to make.
PSYC-310
the prerequisite grade blocks it, and saying so is the easy half
Risely's agents never stop at the refusal. The reply carries the two courses that still work.
Risely's agents answer questions. A person changes the plan.
A rule, a window, a prerequisite, a fit: answered on the spot. A move between terms, a drop under full-time, a retake: drafted, and held for the advisor who signs it.

Risely's agents answer questions. A person changes the plan.
The advisor opens a conversation already in progress.
Every exchange lands on the student record in order, so the appointment starts from what has already been asked and answered rather than from a blank screen.

Not this term. Here are the two courses that do fit.

PSYC-260 then. And yes, draft the retake.
held
the retake of PSYC-201 is drafted and waiting on her advisor
Her advisor opens a conversation already in progress, rather than starting one from nothing.
One thing moves. The answer re-checks.
A grade changes, a section fills, a catalog rule gets revised. Each one changes the right answer, and Risely's agents re-read the record before every reply.
