Explanation of Prerequisites
Most learning beyond basic skills is dependent upon mastery of some prior skill or subject content. As a result, many courses at the University require the satisfaction of prerequisites prior to course enrollment. Prerequisites may be met by successful completion of the prior courses listed or by placement, via testing, into the course.
The academic division/college may withdraw a student from a course for which prerequisites have not been satisfied.
