No, all prerequisites must be completed before the first day of the course. If a course finishes after the first day of class or if the student has an "I"incomplete in the Prerequisites, then they may not take the course.

A corequisite is a course that may be taken at the same time as the course.

What is a prerequisite?
A prerequisite is a course that must be completed before another course can be taken.

Are all students required to meet the current Prerequisites?
Yes, all students - freshmen, transfer, graduate, transient, readmitted, etc. - and regardless of major or degree requirements- are required to meet the current catalog Prerequisites. Only the department head of the course can determine if prerequisites have been met through alternate course work.

Should I follow the Prerequisites listed in my catalog year or the current catalog year?
As the work force progresses, course work must change to stay current. To ensure students' success in an updated course, Prerequisites must sometime change as well. Therefore, all students are required to meet the current catalog Prerequisites.

How do I find out what the current prerequisite for a course is?
Students may verify Prerequisites by referring to the online timetables or checking the current UTC Course Catalog.
