Prerequisite and co-requisite waivers
Do not pursue a prerequisite and/or co-requisite waiver if you do not have prior education that would warrant such an approval. Prerequisite and co-requisite waivers are granted in rare instances and are only waived if an equivalent alternative learning experience can be identified.
If you feel you qualify for a prerequisite and/or co-requisite waiver, locate the college whose class it is you seek the waiver for below and follow the process stated. (e.g.) If you are a non-Arts & Science student wishing to receive a prerequisite waiver for an Arts & Science class, follow the process for the College of Arts & Science.
