Course requirements
Courses that have course requisite checks will have requirement information
in the text of the course information. Section checks will show
the requisite in parentheses following the time line. Students
not meeting the criteria for course requisite checks must obtain a course
permission number in order to register.
Prerequisites
In order to enroll in some courses, you must either complete or concurrently
enroll in certain other courses or possess some particular qualifications
or class standing. These requirements, known as prerequisites, are listed
inside the parentheses after the course titles. If no prerequisites
are listed, there are none, except for the class standing requirements
indicated by the course number. Students attempting to register in courses
for which the prerequisites have not been met must obtain a course approval
from the appropriate instructor and/or department.
Class standing requirements, unless otherwise noted, are indicated
by course numbers as follows:
| 0xxx |
Courses that do not carry credit toward any University
degree. |
| 1xxx |
Courses primarily for undergaduate students in their
first year of study. |
| 2xxx |
Courses primarily for undergraduate students in their
second year of study. |
| 3xxx |
Courses primarily for undergraduate students in their
third year of study. |
| 4xxx |
Courses primarily for undergraduate students in their
fourth year of study. 4xxx courses can be applied to a Graduate
School degree with approval by the student's main field and if taught
by a member of the graduate faculty or an individual authorized
by the program to teach at the graduate level. |
| 5xxx |
Courses primarily for graduate students; undergraduate
students in their third or fourth year may enroll in such courses. |
| 6xxx |
Courses for post-baccalaureate students in professional
degree programs. |
| 7xxx |
Courses for post-baccalaureate students in professional
degree programs. 6xxx and 7xxx courses are to be used primarily
for post-baccalaureate professional programs that are not offered
through the Graduate School |
| 8xxx |
Courses for graduate students. |
When courses that must be taken in sequence are prerequisites, only
the last course of the sequence is listed. When no departmental
designation precedes the course number listed as a prerequisite (e.g.,
"prereq 3221"), that course is in the same department as the
course being offered. Likewise, a prerequisite reading "6
cr" means 6 credits in courses offered by the same department.
Departments and colleges may use the registration system to help place
certain categories of qualified studnts into courses or sections on
a priority basis (seniors, majors, etc.). If you meet all stated prerequisites
for the course, including class standing, you may also need to meet
other qualifications established at the time of registration. For this
reason, it is helpful to think about first and second course
choices.
