The catalog details the process for challenging course prerequisites. It states "Challenging course requisites and/or limitations requires written documentation that explains the alternative course work, background, and/or abilities that adequately prepare a student for the course. Students may obtain a Requisite Challenge form from the Student Development Office, room 808".

It goes on to detail the process and timeline.

In spring 2001, Academic Council approved the following statement that will appear in the 2002/2003 catalog:

"When a student successfully challenges a prerequisite, he or she does not receive credit for the prerequisite course. As a result, transfer students who successfully challenge a transferable prerequisite may be missing credit for coursework required by their transfer institution. Transfer students should consult with their transfer institution. For transfer students, Credit by Exam (if available for the prerequisite course) may be a better option."
