University of Calgary Calendar 2019-2020 Faculty of Arts 3. Faculty Regulations 3.2 Registration and Courses 3.2.8 Prerequisites, Corequisites and Progression
3.2.8 Prerequisites, Corequisites and Progression

All prerequisites for courses offered by the Faculty of Arts must be met with a minimum grade of "C-".

Prerequisites are not normally waived. Minimum grades in prerequisite courses are required to ensure that students have the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in more advanced courses. In exceptional cases, if students can demonstrate that they have equivalent knowledge to the prerequisites listed, they may seek consent from the Department offering the course to enrol in the course.

Students are responsible for ensuring that they have all of the prerequisites and corequisites for each course in which they register. While the online registration system is set up to help students avoid accidental registration in courses for which they lack prerequisites, situations arise where inappropriate course registrations can occur. If registration in any course is contrary to regulations, the Faculty may cancel such registration at any time before or during the term.
