Prerequisites


A prerequisite is a course that must be completed before enrolling in another course. All prerequisite courses must be completed with a minimum grade of C, or a P if taken on a Pass/No Pass basis, unless otherwise noted.
A corequisite is a course that must be taken at the same time as another course.
Course advisories are courses or other preparations that are recommendations from faculty. While not required like a prerequisite, course advisories are encouraged and may predict success in a course.
 
 
If you have completed the equivalent to a prerequisite course in high school or at another regionally accredited college or university, please submit a transcript to the Admissions and Records Office. Additional information on incoming transcripts is also available.
 
Please be aware that you will need to request a transcript review by way of submitting the Transcript Review Form and that a review will not automatically happen just by sending in your transcripts. If the prerequisite is met, the student will be cleared to enroll in the class.
Students may challenge a prerequisite by way of a petition signed off by the division dean of area in which the course is taught. In order to be eligible for consideration by the dean, a student must be currently enrolled in the prerequisite course at a regionally accredited college/high school, or have obtained the requisite skills through life/work experience, or one of the other options stated on the petition.
 
The Prerequisite Challenge Petition Form would need to be completed and submitted for review.
Students that are enrolled in a prerequisite class in the current term will be able to enroll in an upcoming term, but if they fail the prerequisite course, they will be dropped from the future enrolled course.
For more information or questions, please contact the Admissions & Records Office.
