Prerequisite. This means that a student may not enroll in a course until he or she has passed the listed course(s). Prerequisites marked (C) require a grade of C or K or better. Only the dean of a school or his or her designee may waive a prerequisite.

Corequisite. This means that a student must take both corequisite courses in the same semester (or short term). However, if a student makes an acceptable grade in one but not both of the corequisite courses, the student only has to re-take the course not satisfactorily completed.

Prerequisite or Corequisite. This means that the student may take the course(s) listed as "prerequisite or corequisite" either before or at the same time as the main course.

Absolute Corequisite. This means that both "absolute corequisite" courses must be taken at the same time even if one part has previously been satisfactorily completed.

Junior or Senior Standing. To enroll in courses limited by class standing, the student must have completed the requisite number of hours (numbered 1000 or higher) prior to enrolling in the course. Junior standing = 60 hours; Senior standing = 90 hours.

Other Restrictions. Some courses will have restrictions in addition to course prerequisites. They may include, but are not limited to, Learning Support, major, program admission, faculty or dean permission, etc. The student must abide by these restrictions.

Recommendations. Some course descriptions contain recommendations. These are not binding on the student, but they do reflect the faculty's advice about wise choices under usual circumstances.

Course Hours. The digits following each course refer to the weekly lecture (didactic) hours*, weekly laboratory (practicum, clinical, intern) hours*, and total semester credit hours respectively. Thus, for example, a course listed as 2-3-3 would involve two hours* per week of lecture and three hours* per week in lab and would carry three hours of credit for the semester. See the Academic Information chapter for additional information on credit hours.

* 50 minute"hours."

Course Numbers. In general, courses are numbered to reflect the stage at which they are most likely to be taken, 1000 (freshman), 2000 (sophomore), 3000 Junior), and 4000 (senior). However, presuming that all prerequisites and restrictions have been met, any student may take courses at any level. (Courses numbered lower than 1000 are remedial in nature and do not count toward graduation, grade point, or hours accumulation.)

On-Line Courses. Courses marked with the computer icon are available as distance learning courses offered on-line via the Internet (World Wide Web). Most of these courses are also offered in the on-campus format. Not all courses marked with the icon will be available on-line every semester. Also, additional courses not marked by the icon at press time may become available by Internet during the academic year. Consult the Semester Schedule of Classes for specific courses.

On-line courses usually have orientation sessions and examinations that are conducted on the main campus in Morrow. In most cases a student can complete the course without any campus attendance if the student makes acceptable arrangements in advance with the instructor. However, some on-line courses will have physical attendance requirements that cannot be waived. These may include, but are not limited to, clinical, laboratory, or other experiential components that necessitate on-site attendance at Clayton State University or at other sites in metropolitan Atlanta. Consult the Semester Schedule of Classes and the appropriate faculty member for details about specific courses.

Career Courses. The courses in some headings are identified as "career" courses. These courses do not normally count toward a baccalaureate degree (including as electives) except when they are included in the career block of a B.A.S. degree. Any exceptions to this rule must be approved in advance by the dean of the school/college of the student's major.

Institutional Credit. Courses identified as "institutional credit only" do not count in the semester hours needed for graduation. Passing such courses may, however, sometimes be a requirement for graduation. Normally such courses do not transfer to other institutions, but the final decision on transferability rests with the receiving institution.
