Courses with two or more prerequisite courses that carry distribution credit in the same area are not normally listed for automatic distribution credit because it is assumed that students would have completed the distribution requirement in that area while completing the prerequisite courses that carry distribution credit.

Students should contact an academic advisor under the following circumstances:

• they have unusual proficiency that prepares them for an upper-level course not listed on this chart and that would ordinarily require two or more prerequisite courses that carry distribution credit in a particular area;
• they have permission from the instructor to enter the course without the stated prerequisites;
• they would like to use the upper-level course to fulfill a distribution requirement.
