Can I take my prerequisites at the same time as core classes?

Generally, you cannot take a course and its prerequisite at the same time. However, UMGC offers flexible options:

  • Early Enrollment: Take the prerequisite early in the term (e.g., session US1), and enroll in the next course later in the same term (e.g., session US3), if eligible.
  • Simultaneous Enrollment: Speak with your Success Coach or advisor to request a prerequisite override. Approval depends on the course and department policies.
