Prerequisites and corequisites

All course requirements, including prerequisites and corequisites, are clearly listed in the VCU Bulletin course description and all will eventually be enforced in Banner (there will be a pilot in spring 2023 for corequisite and concurrent prerequisite checking on certain courses).

In general, a prerequisite course must be satisfied in a term before enrollment in another course, while a corequisite course must be taken during the same term as another course. Concurrent prerequisites can be taken either before or during the same term as another course. Select a topic below for more details:
