In plain English
This means an earlier requirement for a course is still unmet. The student has not completed a required prior course or otherwise satisfied another condition that must be met first.
In context

- Situation
- Enrolling in courses, choosing sections, joining waitlists, and reading class status

Meaning limits
By itself, this status does not say which specific requirement is missing or whether the unmet condition can still be satisfied later.
