Prerequisites and Corequisites

Some courses have state prerequisites, corequisites and/or local prerequisites. These requirements, which were established to ensure student success, are identified under Course Descriptions. Students may not enroll in a course for which they do not meet the prerequisites by the time the course begins. A corequisite means that two courses must be taken at the same time. Students will be enrolled in corequisite courses in the same semester. If a student deletes or withdraws from one of the courses, the other corequisite course will be administratively dropped.

Under rare circumstances, when a student has limited options, a petition for local prerequisite waiver may be made to the program director of the instructional division offering the course. State prerequisites cannot be waived.

Waiver of a local prerequisite does not exempt a student from completing the course.

Students will be administratively dropped from any course for which they have not successfully earned credit for the prerequisite.
