Prerequisites
A prerequisite is a preliminary requirement, normally the completion of another course, usually with a minimum grade of D, which must be met before a course can be taken. For example, the prerequisite for CHEM 30 is CHEM 20.
Note: Current MacEwan University students who need to upgrade a prerequisite must contact the office to enrol. Special permission is required from an advisor and enrolment is based on seat availability.
