Prerequisites

Students may not enroll in a course that is a prerequisite for a course already completed in general education, major or elective programs. There are three exceptions to this policy:

1. Enrollment in lower level course by students with transfer credits, which do not follow the numbering sequence at Mount Saint Mary College, will be evaluated on an individual basis by the appropriate division chair;
2. Students enrolled in the accelerated program may request waiver of a prerequisite requirement for a higher-level course due to scheduling difficulties. The prerequisite course will be scheduled when available;
3. Students seeking an exception not covered may appeal to the Academic Standards Committee;
4. Students may not register for a course if the prerequisite for that course has not been met or waived by the division chair. Students may request to transfer in prerequisite course work with the prior permission of an advisor and a division chairperson responsible for the course. In order for this course to be transferred in, the student must receive a grade of C or better from an issuing regionally accredited college. This grade will be calculated into the student's Mount GPA. Once the student has completed the course, a signed permission slip and official transcript from the issuing college must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar. A student may then register for a required course.
