6.7 Prerequisites

Prerequisites ensure that you have the required background to successfully complete your course. Before you register, you should ensure that you have met all prerequisite and corequisite course requirements in accordance with the Prerequisite Declaration Form (on the reverse of the print Course Registration Form or online).

 
6.7.1 Professor Approval

Before you register, if you feel a prerequisite should be waived for non-academic reasons (e.g., work experience), you must contact the course professor with the authority to waive the prerequisite. If you did not complete the prerequisite through Athabasca University, you must ensure that the Prerequisite Waiver Declaration Form (located on the reverse of the print Course Registration Form) has been completed. Next, submit that form (or complete your form online), along with your Course Registration Form, to Registrations Unit, Office of the Registrar.

Students who register in a course that is a prerequisite to a second course, must obtain professor approval before their registration in the second course can be processed.

Before registering in courses designated as “reading courses”, you must contact the course professor to obtain registration approval.

Some courses require professor approval and other course-related prerequisites. Failure to obtain these preregistration requirements will result in your registration being delayed or refused.
