What is a prerequisite? Do I really have to have it to take a course that lists one?
A prerequisite is a course or skill level you must show before you take the course requiring it. It is a requirement, not a suggestion! You must meet the prerequisite before taking the course, or you will not be allowed to register. You may Challenge the prerequisite on the grounds that it is biased, or that it has been unavailable. You also may Petition if you feel you can prove that you have the equivalent of the prerequisite from other skills you can demonstrate. See a counselor for more information.
