Prerequisites and Co-requisitesPrerequisitesPrerequisites reflect the background necessary for successful completion of a course and may be expressed in terms of specific courses, credit levels, or more general experience, knowledge, or skills. Prerequisites expressed in terms of specific courses or credit levels will be enforced automatically by the registration system. Enrollment into courses with defined prerequisites will be blocked unless the student has met the prerequisite. A student who lacks the prerequisite but feels prepared for the course for other reasons may enroll with instructor permission using the Special Registration Form. Recommended PrerequisitesRecommended Prerequisites are recommendations only and are not enforced by the registration system. They are intended to ensure that students are prepared adequately for successful performance in the course. Students who have serious concerns about their readiness for the course should consult with the instructor before enrolling. Co-Requisite CoursesCo-requisite courses are those which require concurrent registration. Examples include lecture classes that are linked to labs or recitation sections. The Registration system will not add a course with a co-requisite unless both courses are requested at the same time. If one section of the two co-requisite courses is closed, students must select another section and add both co-requisite courses at the same time. Students who later wish to change lab sections must add the appropriate CRN for the lab section before dropping the unwanted section. If one of the two co-requisites is dropped, the registration system drops both courses. |
