Maybe way back when they didn't really use computer systems to track classes. Now if you don't have the prereqs in the computer system, the computer wont let your register, therefore the teacher wont have you on your class list and you wont be able to get a grade on your transcript.
- sketerpot 17y agoI just graduated from college a few months ago. The prerequisite system is so full of special cases, and so riddled with verbiage like "or equivalent classes, or permission of the instructor", that they didn't even bother to track prereqs by computer. (Also, I spent a semester in another country, and the records didn't transfer. Essentially, that semester was a black box in which I could plausibly be assumed to have taken any class. Maybe that helped.) I'm surprised that other schools track prereqs by computer. That sounds like it would be very rigid and high-maintenance.
