• Make note of courses that are not offered every term to adjust their plans accordingly,
• Take all pre-requisites prior to attempting to register for a given course, and
• Understand which courses have additional minimum grade requirements in the prerequisites.
• While C- is the normal minimum grade needed to be achieved in a pre-requisite course, some courses require higher grades in the pre-requisite course.
• Students must know which courses require higher grades in the pre-requisite course so that they can achieve the necessary grade.
• If students do not obtain the required grade in a pre-requisite course, students must retake the pre-requisite course to earn the grade required.
