Setting Course Prerequisites

Define which courses students must complete, and in what order, before they can register for another course.

You can define the courses students are required to complete before they can register for other courses. Prerequisites can be defined and removed.

Before you begin

  • Set prerequisites for a course before students register for the course. If a prerequisite is assigned after students have registered for the course, students that have not completed the prerequisite course are not removed from the course.

Assign a prerequisite course

  1. Open the Curriculums/Courses side-tab and click Manage Courses.
  2. Use the fields in the search window above the results table to filter the list of courses. Use the controls as follows:
    • Org ID – Org ID under which the course is registered.
    • Course ID – Enter any combination of letters and numbers to search for any courses that contain that combination in the Course ID.
    • Course Title – Enter any combination of letters and numbers to search for any courses that contain that combination in the title.

  3. Double-click the course ID of the session. Alternatively, you can select the course ID and either click Edit or right-click on the table and select Edit.
