Prerequisites
Students are expected to meet prerequisites for all courses prior to registering. Prerequisites are listed with the course description and indicate the preparation and/or background necessary for that course. If a student has not met these requirements, the student may request permission from the instructor of the course to enroll in the class. A faculty member may withdraw students who do not meet the requirements or obtain faculty permission.
Co-Requisites
Co-requisites are courses that must be taken concurrently. Students are responsible for enrolling in and attending all co-requisite courses in the same semester. Co-requisites are listed in the individual course descriptions. A faculty member may withdraw students who do not enroll for the appropriate co-requisites.
Cross-Listed Courses
A course that contains content related to two or more disciplines may be offered under the prefixes that identify those disciplines. These courses are termed “cross-listed.” Students may enroll in cross-listed courses under the discipline and prefix of their choice. Catalog descriptions of these courses include the phrase “cross-listed with.” The semester class schedule will indicate if a class is being offered in cross-listed format.
Repeatable Courses
Some courses, such as Special Topics and some foundational courses may be taken more than once for additional credit. Only those courses for which this is explicitly noted in the course description qualify for this option.
Retaking Courses
Any course for which a student has received a grade noted on his/her college transcript may be retaken if the course is available and the program offering the course permits it. The student’s transcript will reflect all grades earned each time the student takes the course. Only the credits and, chronologically, the last grade earned are applied toward graduation requirements, prerequisite fulfillment, and cumulative GPA calculation. Students should notify the Registrar when a course has been retaken for grade improvement.
