The following is a guide to use when filling out the prerequisite change form. Below are examples of
restrictions that can be applied on a course. Any restriction placed on the catalog level of a course will apply to
all sections of that course. These restrictions are not meant to be used on individual sections.
To fill out the form please list all the restrictions and requirements you wish to apply to your course. Please
use the codes listed below to assist you in completing the form.
Prerequisite: A course that is required for the student to pass prior to enrolling in the subsequent course.
Prerequisite with concurrency: A course that a student can have passed already or taken concurrently with
the subsequent course.

if a student fails one they still must take both again. (Not common)

specific major, minor or concentration.
