How to Read Course Information

Credit courses are grouped alphabetically by the subject prefix and then by number. It is important that students use course information to make informed decisions about enrolling in courses.

Courses and Sections

Courses
Course listings and outlines are the approved course description. The catalog lists all active credit courses, but not all courses are offered every term.

Sections
Courses sections are published in thecredit class schedule. Each section has a syllabus that describes its unique aspects, such as grading method and assignments.

Course Numbering

Courses numbered 100 to 299 (e.g.,MTH 111College Algebra) are college level and designed to meet program requirements or transfer to a four-year institution.

Courses numbered below 100 (e.g.,MTH 060Beginning Algebra) are below college level and usually do not transfer to four-year institutions.

Adult continuing education courses(offered throughContinuing Education)and adult basic skills courses (offered throughAdult Basic Skills) are non-credit, non-transferable classes focused on building skills.

The course number and title are listed first and followed by the number of quarter credit hours in parentheses. Prerequisites, corequisites, and recommended preparation are identified. Individual sections may have unique prerequisites which are listed in the schedule.

Definitions

Prerequisitesare courses or other requirements that must be met before enrollment. If students are enrolled in the current term in a prerequisite course, they will be able to register for the future course before a grade is posted. However, if they do not receive a C grade or higher in the prerequisite course, they will be automatically dropped from the future course.

Aprerequisite with concurrencyis a course which must be completed before or while attending the selected course.

Acorequisitecourse must be taken concurrently with a given course.

Recommended preparation类似于一个先决条件，但在注册过程中不强制执行;在没有完成建议的准备工作的情况下，学生应该与老师联系关于注册课程的问题。
