I don't have the exact prerequisites for the class I want.  Does this mean I can't sign up for the course?

Students bear sole responsibility for passing all prerequisite courses.  Pre-computer science students are held to the additional prerequisite requirement of having earned A’s and B’s in all computer science courses prior to moving on into advanced courses.  Although neither WebReg nor the online waiting lists will block you from registering if you have not met the prerequisites, the instructor and/or the Computer Science Office of Academic Services may drop you from your classes or the waiting list if it is found that you do not meet the prerequisites.

If you are a graduate student and do not have the prerequisites for a course, you should speak with the graduate advisor to discuss whether this is an appropriate course selection for you.
