Q

I have taken the prerequisite course(s) but the computer won't let me in the class. What can I do?

Answer(s)

A

Several things are possible. If you took the course at another school we must have that transcript posted here. If it's here, an advisor may have to adjust something in the computer for it to recognize it as a prereq. Or an advisor may have to authorize you to take the class anyway. Engineering advisors can fix transfer classes. We cannot authorize students into non-engineering classes (e.g., math, chemistry, computer science, physics). You have to go to those departments for their authorization.

If the class is in progress elsewhere so we don't have the transcript yet (this often happens with math) you have to show the appropriate department that you're in the class somewhere so they'll be willing to authorize it. If you don't pass the class, you need to drop the one that was authorized. If a class is listed as a co requisite and you've completed it, we usually have to authorize that. The computer's looking for you to be registered for it right now.
