A prerequisite represents a set of skills or a body of knowledge that a student must possess prior to enrollment in the course, and without which the student is highly unlikely to succeed. Prerequisite indicates a condition of enrollment that a student is required to meet in order to demonstrate current readiness for enrollment in a subsequent course. Students will not be permitted to enroll in such courses without the appropriate prerequisite. Current prerequisites are available at the Student Administrative Services Office or on the College website.

The effect of prerequisite courses related to transfer credits and students receiving advanced standing will be managed by the Academic Affairs Office. Appeals to this policy may be made in writing to the Academic Dean no later than the fifth-class day of an academic term.

A student must have successfully completed all courses within an academic term before registering for any course(s) in an academic term more than two academic terms beyond. Example: in order to register for the fourth academic term, all courses from the first academic term must be successfully completed.
