Some of the courses offered at Southwest Tennessee Community College require specific prior knowledge or skills to be successful. To assist students in obtaining the skill or knowledge required, courses are offered at the College in a sequence that provides for the best chance of student success. Some courses must be completed prior to enrolling in other courses. These courses are identified as prerequisites.
Student should read the Course Descriptions section of the catalog for a listing of prerequisites. Students must meet the prerequisite requirement before being enrolled in the higher-level course.
Some courses must be taken along with other courses. These courses are called co-requisites. Co-requisites usually provide for the development of competencies that support comprehension or reinforce materials presented in the other course(s). Course co-requisites are listed in the Course Descriptions section of the catalog.
Students who want relief from taking a prerequisite or co-requisite course must obtain approval from the Department Head. The appropriate approval must be presented to personnel in the Admissions and Records Office before the student will be enrolled in a course without meeting prerequisite and/or co-requisite requirements.
