What is a prerequisite?
When a course has a prerequisite, it means that a student must have certain knowledge to be successful in the course. The prior knowledge may be a skill (type 40 wpm), an ability (speaks and writes French fluently), a placement preparation score, or successful completion of a course (grade C or better in Chem. 1A). Completion of the prerequisite is required prior to enrolling in the class.
A prerequisite to a course is a mandatory requirement that must be met before enrolling in a course. Usually a prerequisite is another course. For example, PHYS 3A (Physics for Science and Engineering I) has a prerequisite of MATH 60 (First Calculus Course). Some, but not all courses in Physical Science have prerequisites. Usually a grade of C or higher is required in a prerequisite course in order to fulfill the prerequisite.
A prerequisite is a condition of enrollment that a student is required to meet in order to demonstrate readiness for a course or educational program. You are required to show proof of meeting the prerequisite in order to register for the course. Prerequisites completed at LTCC with a C or higher will be automatically approved when you register for the course. If the prerequisite was completed at another college, you will need to meet with a counselor with proof of having completed the prerequisite before you will be able to register for the course.
A prerequisite is a course requirement or skill that must be fulfilled before enrolling an accredited program or in a course. Example: English 1301 is a prerequisite to English 1302. A basic understanding of computers and operating systems is a prerequisite enrollment to a CISCO I course, ITCC 1402.
