SCC's approach to Prerequisites/Corequisites, Waivers, and Course Substitutions
- Prerequisites/Corequisites requirements are in the student's best interest.
- A clear rationale for waiving these requirements is necessary.
- Documentation of waivers is required for audit purposes.

If a waiver is appropriate, advisors should complete the Waiver form.
