Responsibility

The suggested sequence
of courses in each program is the most desirable to follow;
but the order may be changed, if necessary, as long as prerequisites
are met. It is the student’s responsibility to meet course
prerequisites and graduation requirements. The general education
and physical education requirements for the Associate Degrees
are listed in the “Graduation Requirements” section of this
catalog addendum.
Students planning
to transfer to a bachelor degree program should consult
a counselor to verify requirements.
