COURSE DEPENDENCIES
"Dependencies" are requirements that students must fulfill in order to enroll in the course. If the course you are proposing has prerequisites, corequisites, special fees or field trips, or if its enrollment is limited to majors, minors, non-majors or non-minors, you must select the "Course Dependencies" panel. It is listed on the left of the screen. In order to save the information you have entered so far, click on the "Submit Form" button at the top of the form. Then click on the "Course Dependencies" button on the left.

To add a dependency, you must select the dependency type then indicate the associated course number or dependency description.
