Prerequisite

A prerequisite is a condition of enrollment that a student is required to meet in order to demonstrate preparation or readiness for enrollment in a course or program. Prerequisites can be a course or qualification that a student must meet.  It is the student’s responsibility to comply with prerequisites of all courses for which they enroll. Course prerequisites are listed in this catalog in the course descriptions. 

If a prerequisite is listed for a course, it means that the discipline faculty and department via the curriculum process have determined that students who lack the prerequisite are highly unlikely to succeed in the course. Therefore, the student must meet the prerequisite listed before enrolling in the course.

Students who have satisfied prerequisites at another institution or with external prior credit can request a Prerequisite Clearance by meeting with a counselor to be eligible for registration into a course. It is important that students review these items with a Counselor when developing their educational plan.

A Request for Evaluation and official transcripts must be submitted to Enrollment Services to apply transfer credit toward program graduation requirements.
