  • I'm not sure if it will let you. If it does though I think the system periodically goes through and kicks anyone out who does not meet the requirements.

    If you want to enroll in a course you do not meet the requirements for, you must get permission first. Then enroll or be placed in the class.
  • A lot of the time the prerequisite is there for good reason, as otherwise the class will be harder and more painful than it needed to be.  As Ryan says, have a talk with the instructor. 
  • thx, I will talk to an instructor and see what's going on then.
  • Yes, or your academic advisor. Dangerous to actually take course if you don't have the pre-req for it because you might not get credit for it when it's included in your transcript.
  • Except math, all the courses that had said "pre-req" had almost no relevance what so ever with the previous course
  • Which math courses are you talking about?? I know math 240 is always listed as a prereq and usually not used but i can't think of any other
  • I heard from the father of the cousin of a friend of a trusted source
    that you can get into most courses without having to deal with the requirements if you just talk with the professor.

    They usually accept cash or head.
  • Regardless of gender.
