Requisite types
- Pre-requisites: These are usually either specific classes you must have taken or a minimum amount of credits that you will need to have obtained before you can register for a given class.
- Co-requisites: These are classes that need to be taken at the same time (or previously) in order to be able to register for a given class.
- Anti-requisites: These are other classes for which you must not have previously received credit (including any transfer credit or exemptions) in order to be eligible to register for a given class. For example, MARK 495 is an anti-requisite of MARK 301. To register for MARK 301, students should have not have previously taken and received credit for MARK 495. The reason for these types of requirements are to stop students taking courses out of sequence or taking a higher level course and then trying to take a lower level course that may have similar content.
