Selective Admission Program Pre-Requisites
Overview
Selective admission programs that require pre-requisites require adequate notification timelines to prospective students about the required pre-requisites and any changes or updates to those courses. Since students begin completing the required pre-requisite coursework at least one semester prior to applying to the program, they need to be informed if the current catalog year’s requirement will be in effect for the following catalog year. And if there are changes to the required pre-requisite coursework, students must be notified of those changes at least one year in advance of those changes being implemented.
Procedure
All selective admission programs shall list the required pre-requisite course work in the catalog under their program page. Such listing will explicitly guarantee that the pre-requisite coursework will be sufficient for admission requirements for any cohort starting in the next academic year. For instance, the 2025-2026 catalog will state that pre-requisite coursework will be sufficient for the 2026-2027 catalog year.
If a program changes the pre-requisite requirements, those changes must be published in the catalog preceding the year in which they are implemented. For instance, if changes to pre-requisite coursework is approved in time to publish in the 2025-2026 catalog, that catalog will state list the current pre-requisites and state that the new pre-requisites will be in place for students applying in the 2026-2027 catalog year.
