Reading a Course Description
At the bottom of the course descriptions, students will see a pattern such as 3 credits, plus 1 contact hour = 2 lecture, 2 laboratory, OR 4 credits = 4 lecture/laboratory. The numbers will change based on the individual course. Tuition is charged by the contact hour.
For some courses a prerequisite course or assessment score is required prior to registration. Students who believe that the prerequisite was met through previous college work or work experience may ask the course instructor for permission to waive the prerequisite. It is up to the student to provide the evidence for this waiver request.
Prerequisite Waivers
Any course prerequisite may be waived by the permission of the instructor. Student must contact the instructor for approval.
Independent Study
Any college course described in the catalog may be taken as independent study if there are unusual and extenuating circumstances. However, the student must initiate acceptance and approval for supervision by an instructor and obtain the appropriate form from the instructor or academic lead.
Selected Topics
All disciplines have a course as follows with the acronym for each discipline − 195 Selected Topics − a course that offers an intensive investigation of one or more topics of current interest. Topics are selected by discipline. Interested students should inform the instructor of their interest at the earliest possible date. Special requirements may be necessary. 1 to 5 credits = 1 to 5 lecture and/or laboratory.
Corequisite/support courses in English and Mathematics
The college offers 100-level courses in English and Mathematics that provide additional academic support for the course content. These courses are ENG 100: English Composition I with Basic Writing Skills, MTH 1011: Intermediate Algebra with Support, MTH 1101: Foundations of Math with Mathematical Literacy, and MTH 1121: Introduction to Statistics with Algebra Support.
