How do you know if you meet the pre-requisites for a course?

1. Find the course description in the University Bulletin, which you can find at http://www.semo.edu/bulletin/. Some courses will not have pre-requisites, while others may require certain General Education categories (i.e. Living Systems, Social Systems, Political Systems) or even specific courses (i.e. SC105, PS103 or PS104, MA134 and AD101). Still other courses may state junior standing (60 hours) or senior standing (90 hours) in order to take the course.
2. Next, check your Unofficial Transcript in Self-Service. You can find this on the Portal, on the Student SS tab. This will show all courses completed and in progress to help you remember what you have already taken. If you are still uncertain, you should confirm your selection with you advisor. Some course numbers may have changed since you completed the course, especially if it has been many years since you took the course. (i.e. US101 = US105, MA136 = MA140, EN150 = EN140).
