Just One More Thing About A Late Add

Several terms back Kai changed majors from History to Psychology.  On Kai's campus all Psych majors are required to complete an Introduction To Statistics course.  At the beginning of his first term in his new major Kai found an open Statistics class that fit his schedule.  Although his campus requires all Statistics students to have completed College Algebra as a pre-requisite before enrolling, a pre-req which Kai had not met, Kai convinced the instructor to add him anyway.  The instructor did so and Kai passed the course. Shortly before Kai's intended graduation he receive a notice from the registrar's office that he needed to complete a College Algebra course before he could graduate.  When Kai inquired at the registrar's office he learned that even though he had completed the required Statistics course without having passed College Algebra his university still required him to complete that pre-req. These were the school's requirements and Kai could not be exempted from them. Kai found a summer College Algebra course at a local community college, walked through his scheduled graduation, and completed the course. Upon receiving notice of Kai's grade from the community college his university posted his degree, released his transcript and issued his diploma.

Important point. The daily, weekly and annual swarm of activities and requirements on Planet College demand your attention. Being permitted to add for a course for which you have not completed the necessary pre-requisites is a courtesy from the instructor and the supervising department.  This courtesy does not automatically exempt you from any necessary pre-requisites for this course which are required by your university.

Be aware of this. Don't expect to be exempted from pre-reqs just because you completed the course without taking them first. At some time after completing the course you added you will have to complete the required pre-requisites.  That is the way it is on Planet College.
