How Do I Check For Prerequisites?

Before registration you are responsible for making sure you have completed the necessary course prerequisites before enrolling in a course.  For example, undergraduates must take ENGL 1001:  Rhetoric and Composition 1 before enrolling in ENGL 1002:  Rhetoric and Composition 2.

CheckMarq only checks and restricts prerequisites for majors and programs, classification, and some selected classes. 

When searching for classes in CheckMarq, click on Course Information to view the course description.  Prerequisites are usually listed at the end of the course description.
