A prerequisite is a requirement that a student must complete before enrolling in a course. Prerequisites can include courses, active placement test scores, and other criteria established by faculty to ensure a student is prepared to be successful in a course.

Students are responsible for knowing what the specific prerequisites are for their course when registering.
More information on how to verify that you have the right prerequisites can be found on the webpage below:

Prerequisites Verification

Minneapolis College's course placement process determines a student's readiness for reading, writing, and mathematics.

These placements help students choose appropriate courses and allow them to register for both prerequisite courses needed and program courses.

Not all programs require the same course placements.

 You can view your course placement information by logging in to eServices, selecting "Courses and Registration," and then selecting "Course Placement."

If you do not have placement, please complete the “Guided Self Placement” on this webpage:
