SUBJECT

A prerequisite course is one which must be successfully completed before a specified course may be attempted.
A corequisite course is one which must be studied concurrently with a specified course. Both corequisite courses must be successfully completed before passing grades can be given for either of them.
Both prerequisite and corequisite requirements are identified when program outlines are prepared and submitted.
The professor will identify the prerequisite and corequisite courses when defining the course delivery and academic achievement level.
If a student does not meet the prerequisite course requirements he/she will not be allowed to proceed in the course(s) which have been identified as requiring a prerequisite, until the prerequisite course is successfully completed. Coordinators (with Dean approval) may waive the requirement for a prerequisite or co-requisite course (s) when deemed appropriate.
If a student is unsuccessful in a corequisite course the transcript will indicate an ‘F’ in all corequisite courses. The student will be required to make up the corequisite course(s) which was/were unsuccessfully completed. When the failed course is successfully completed, the grades in the other corequisite courses will be recorded based on the most recent attempt.
