Upper Division and Graduate Level Courses

Credit is not granted for both 400- and 600-level courses having the same title, unless otherwise specified in the course description.

Prerequisites

A prerequisite course is an academic requirement that must be completed prior to the student taking a course. Unless otherwise stated, a passing grade of  D- or better is required to satisfy as a prerequisite course.

Prerequisites are used to ensure that a student has the required background to successfully complete the course. Prerequisites may also have prerequisites. These prerequisites must also be fulfilled.

For example: COMM 314-3 has a prerequisite of COMM 313-3, COMM 313-3 has a prerequisite of COMM 210-3, and COMM 210-3 has a prerequisite of COMM 100-3. In this case, a student must have credit for COMM 313-3, COMM 210-3, and COMM 100-3 before being eligible to enroll in COMM 314-3.
