Prerequisite Overview

What is a prerequisite?

  • Prerequisite requirements are related to test scores or other course(s) which must be completed to be eligible to take the course
  • Current enrollment in a prerequisite course satisfies the prerequisite requirement for a future semester registration (you must pass current semester prerequisite course to avoid being dropped from the future semester)

Who is impacted?

  • Students who have not fulfilled prerequisite requirements 
  • Students encountering a Prerequisite Restriction error when trying to register
  • Students whose related transfer credits have not been posted and evaluated
  • Students taking the prerequisite in the same semester (e.g., A/B term sequence)
  • Non-degree and second-degree seeking students 

What should you do?

  • Request an override (see below How to request an override)
    • Supporting documentation will be required, demonstrating that requirements have been met or you are registered for the prerequisite in the same semester (e.g., A/B term sequence)
    • Requests are subject to college/departmental approval

If you are able to register (e.g., prerequisite is department-managed, not system-enforced) and have not fulfilled the requirements (or provided documentation thereof), you will be required to drop the course if you do not obtain the appropriate approval/override. More details may be found here:  Prerequisite Need to Know (PDF)
