Instructors should state clearly the prerequisites of the course at the initial class meeting. Students not eligible for the course should be sent to an advisor immediately to rectify the situation. Occasions arise when exceptions to this regulation may be deemed desirable and necessary. An appropriate instructor and head may submit a waiver or course substitution or they may approve a student’s industry certification or indication of competency completion from another accredited institution. In such cases, the Registrar will determine if such documentation is sufficient to constitute satisfaction of the prerequisite. Signatures from the head and the Registrar, along with appropriate documentation, will be placed in the student’s official file.
