Prerequisite Courses

The Mānoa Course Catalog provides course descriptions and requirements. Pre: indicates the prerequisites necessary to register for a course, which may include courses, general education designation, class standing, consent of the instructor or departmental approval. Some prerequisites may be taken concurrently. When a department has a prerequisite common to a large group of courses, that fact is noted in italics preceding these course listings as a blanket statement.

If you think you need approval to register for a course, visit the department website as they may have instructions for requesting an override. Otherwise, contact the instructor or Academic Department office for assistance.
