The relevant prerequisites in each case are stated in the departmental course descriptions.
Prior to registering, students who do not have any specified prerequisites for a course must obtain permission of the relevant Department.
An ESL course or an introductory course that deals with the acquisition of a language will not be considered as a General Education elective or a General Elective.
