Let’s say you want to take STAT 2120. In order to register for that course, you must have passed STAT 2110 or be currently registered for STAT 2110.
Some more advanced courses might require you to complete a lower-level course before you can enroll. Others might require you to be in a certain major or class standing. Not all courses have prerequisites.
The registration system checks to see if a prerequisite exists for a course and will not let you register unless you have completed the prerequisite. You will receive the following error message: "You have not met the prerequisites for this course. See the department for assistance."
Not all prerequisites are coded in the registration system, though. Verify that you have met all the prerequisites prior to enrolling by reviewing the course catalog. If you are able to register for a course without having met the prerequisite, the department or faculty member will ask you to drop the class.
