What is a Pre-requisite? A pre-requisite is a course that must be completed successfully
(meaning a grade of D or better) PRIOR to taking the next course. For example, Calculus 2 has a pre-requisite
of Calculus 1. If you have not successfully completed Calculus 1, then you do not have the pre-requisite for
Calculus 2, and do not qualify to take the course. If you took Calc 1 and Withdrew or got an F, then you must
repeat Calc 1 (and pass it with a D or better) in order to register for Calc 2 in the proceeding semester.
If you do not have the pre-req, but feel you are prepared for the course, then you should see the department
that offers the course to inquire about a Pre-requsite Override. For example, if you took and failed
(or withdrew) from Electronic Devices but feel you are prepared for Digital Electronics (which requires ED
as a pre-req), then you need to contact the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Undergraduate Director,
Dr Sannuti, to see if a pre-req override will be given. Once you obtain the pre-req override, bring it into B100
for registration assistance.
If you have completed the prerequisite(s), but were unsuccessful when registering,
come into B-100 for assistance.
If you have not completed the prerequisite, but think you should be able to override this
requirement, get a prerequisite override from the department offering the course
().
Then bring this form into B-100 for further assistance.
What is a co-requisite? A co-crequisite means that a course must be taken at the same time as another
course. For example, Computer Archtecture and Computer Architecture Lab are co-requeistes. They must be taken
concurrently.
What is a Special Permission Number? A Special Permission Number (SPN) is a 6 digit number that is used
to allow a student register for course that is full or that is not open to that student's major or class year.
If you want to get into a course that is full or is not open to your class year or major, see the department that
offers the course
()
to inquire about getting a Special Permission Number. For example, Biology 101 is full and you
want to take that course. You should contact the Life Sciences department and request a special permission number.
If they give you an SPN, you can attempt to register for the course on your own, or bring it into B100 for further
assistance.
14:440 courses - Come into B-100 for the number.
All other courses - go to the department that offers the course for the number,
whether it is Mech. Eng'g, Math, Economics, Spanish, etc. See for locations.
If you are not listed as a school 14 student and need to take a school 14 course,
see Dean Bernath in B-100 for approval first. See
Dean Bernath during his office Hours.
