Prerequisite
A prerequisite is a course a student must earn credit for with a grade of “C” or better or a condition that a student must meet before enrolling in subsequent course. Prerequisites provide students with skills or knowledge without which they are unlikely to succeed in the subsequent course. Students will not be permitted to enroll in courses or programs without meeting the appropriate prerequisites. Failure to complete a prerequisite may result in the student’s being withdrawn from the course. If a student is not sure whether or not s/he has met a prerequisite, s/he should consult a counselor or an advisor before registering.

Corequisite
A corequisite is a course that students are required to take at the same time as another course. A corequisite provides a set of skills or a body of knowledge that must be acquired through concurrent enrollment in both courses. Without these skills the student is highly unlikely to succeed. If a course requires a “corequisite,” the student must enroll in both courses at the same time.

Recommended Preparation
When there is a course or preparation that a student is advised (but not required) to have before or in conjunction with enrollment in a course, it is considered to be a class with “recommended preparation.” Strongly recommended preparation represents a set of skills or a body of knowledge which will help a student achieve a greater understanding of course material but without which the student still may succeed in the course or program. NOTE: Students enrolling in an English and/or math course using WebAdvisor must have completed the prerequisites for these courses.
