Prerequisites - A prerequisite — or its equivalent — equivalent—must be met before a student can register for a course. A prerequisite may be a specific high school course, another MCC course, a demonstrated proficiency, or acceptance into a certain program. Prerequisites may be waived on the basis of proficiency testing and/or the recommendation of an appropriate faculty member or academic dean.

Co-requisites - Co-requisites are required program courses that must be taken simultaneously; a grouping of courses that must all be taken within the same quarter. In some cases, previous completion of the required course is acceptable.
