Prerequisites, Corequisites and Recommended Preparation
Overview

Computerized Prerequisite Checking

Beginning with registration for Fall 2011, many courses with prerequisites requirements are subject to computerized prerequisite checking.

Registration is blocked for students who do
not meet prerequisite and/or corequisite requirements.

For more information, see FAQs
prerequisite is a condition of enrollment that students are required to meet to demonstrate readiness for enrollment in a course or program. As an example, students must successfully complete elementary algebra (Math 110), prior to enrolling in intermediate algebra (Math 120). So, Math 110 is a prerequisite for Math 120. A prerequisite course must be completed successfully to enroll in the course which follows. Successful completion is defined as earning a grade of ā€œCā€ or better. Placement test results can also be used to meet prerequisite skill levels.

corequisite is a course that a student is required to take simultaneously in order to enroll in another course. Corequisites are designated in course descriptions in the class schedule and college catalog.

Recommended preparation for a course or program is a condition that a
student is advised, but not required, to meet before enrollment.
