A word about course PREREQUISITES:
Prerequisite courses are listed in the TSUD Bulletin.
Prerequisites are determined by the faculty who are responsible for the academic
integrity or curricula in TSUD courses, majors, and programs. A prerequisite may
be designated because the knowledge gained in that course is essential to
success in a subsequent course. A prerequisite also may be specified if a
particular course will be helpful, in whole or in part, to a student’s
ability to maximize learning in a subsequent course. Faculty advisors,
counselors, and TSUD staff involved in registration attempt to assist students
in registering for courses in the prescribed order. However, this responsibility
is primarily the student’s. A student’s ability to pass a course at a higher
level will not excuse the prerequisite requirement. It is the program of study
as a whole (including an all-important general studies requirement) that serves
as the basis for a TSUD degree. Students are encouraged to keep a copy of the
official checksheet issued to them upon admission, to take responsibility for
updating these checksheets as courses are completed, and to obtain new
checksheets as soon as programs, majors or minors are changed.
(Courses are listed first alphabetically according to the two
or three letter prefix and then numerically within each subject area.)
