Prerequisites
Prerequisites must be passed in order to begin any course. A working knowledge of the contents of the prerequisite course will usually be assumed by instructors. Courses equivalent to the named prerequisite may be acceptable. With consent of the instructor, prerequisites may be waived in exceptional cases.
Corequisites
Unless credit has already been obtained for a corequisite or its equivalent, it must be taken in the same term with the course requiring it. Antirequisites
