• A prerequisite is a requirement that must be met by a student before enrolment in a stipulated
unit. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet the prerequisites for a unit prior to enrolling
into that unit.
• A co-requisite is a requirement that must be met by having already passed or being concurrently
enrolled in an associated unit in order to be able to enrol in the stipulated unit.
If you wish to enrol into a unit for which you have not met the prerequisite or co-requisite
requirements, please obtain approval from your Course Coordinator.
