Prerequisite Information

Students who attempt to register for a course and fail to meet the prerequisites will see PREREQUISITE NOT MET error message at the time of registration. The course will not be added to the student's schedule. In order to register, students should address all questions regarding prerequisites to the academic department.

Prerequisite Procedure to Remove a Student from a Course:
If a student does not meet a prerequisite due to withdrawal or failure of a previous course, he or she must withdraw from the course requiring the prerequisite.  It is the responsibility of the faculty/department to notify students accordingly.

The Deans' office will be provided reports of students who have failed the prerequisite checking process. They will notify the student within one day of receiving the report and request the student drop the course or appeal to the department for approval to remain in the course. The student will have five days to respond by either dropping the course or appealing. If the student fails to respond, the Deans' office will instruct the Registrar to drop the student. Upon receipt of this notification, the Registrar will notify the student that the course has been dropped.
