Admitted Students: Admitted students should have the required prerequisite courses to register for a class. If you do not, you may contact the instructor to request an override.
Non-Admitted Students: While you should have the prerequisite requirements required for your course(s), students are not required to provide transcripts in order to register. During registration you will be prompted to acknowledge that you have the background necessary to be successful in your course(s). This acknowledgement will serve as proof of prerequisites. If you have questions about how your prior educational experience impacts your ability to be successful, please contact the instructor.
