Required course prerequisites must be completed before enrollment in more advanced courses to afford reasonable student preparation expectations for the successful attainment of course objectives. A grade of 'C' or above is required to meet and satisfy pre-requisite courses. In some cases, a student may have attained sufficient preparation for success through other life learning. They may petition the division dean, academic advisor, or class instructor to waiver the course prerequisite.
Students should be aware and fully prepared to provide the instructor with compelling evidence of such prior preparation. Students may not have provided documentation of the required prerequisite course work on their transcript to register for more advanced courses; they must present the signed prerequisite course waiver form at the registration time. The prerequisite course waiver form may be obtained from the Office of Advising and Retention. It must be completed and signed by the course instructor, Dean of the College, and Vice President for Academic Affairs.
