Pre-Requisites / Co-Requisites Policy

Students wanting to enroll in a course with a pre-requisite must satisfactorily complete that prerequisite before they are allowed to register. A course has a prerequisite to ensure that a student has the appropriate body of knowledge to successfully take the course. Courses with a co-requisite ensure that a student either has taken the co-requisite before or is taking it at the same time as the course.

Usually, a prequisite is a course from a lower sequence of courses. For example: You may not enroll in Math 119 (Elementary Statistics) without passing Math 096 (Intermediate Algebra with Geometry), or the equivalent, with a "C" grade or better. Usually, a co-requisite course is a lab. For example: Chemistry 100 (Fundamentals of Chemistry) has a co-requisite lab class, Chemistry 100L (Fundamentals of Chemistry Laboratory). A student must enroll in both, or have taken the lab prior to the course.

Please refer to individual course offerings in the catalog or our web site at www.miramarcollege.net for specific course prerequisites and/or co-requisites.
