Course Requisite Failed..

edited May 2013 in General
Ok, so I took macm 101 spring 2013 and I got a D. I also did math 150 and got a B. I registered for math 232 for the summer and I got the following email today.

 I got this email today: 

Our Records show that you have registered in MATH 232 for 2013 Summer and that during 2013 Spring you were taking MACM 101 and achieved a grade of D. This grade may make you ineligible to take MATH 232. Be sure to check the pre-requisites for MATH 232 and drop this course if you do not qualify.  

If a subsequent audit shows that you do not meet the pre-requisites you may be dropped by the Department offering the course without further notice from the class with no refund of tuition. A course drop penalty fee may also be applied. As per SFU policy it is the student's responsibility to ensure that all course pre-requisites, program approval, and graduation requirements have been met.

Please direct all inquiries to your department.

Sorry for it to be so long but it was in fact a pretty big email. Anyway, what does this even mean? The prereqisuits were math 150 or macm 101 or math 151. I don't understand why i got this email when I diddnt even have to take macm 101 to take this course... Can someone explain to me what this email means?

  • You passed math 150 so you should be fine. I think the email is just sent automatically since you failed macm. If you're still worried just email the department advisor.
  • I don't think you should've gotten this e-mail lol, cause I took MATH 232 with only taking MATH 151 before.

    It's just saying the mathematics department might drop you from the course if they see that you don't have the pre-reqs, but since you do (from MATH 150) it probably won't happen.

    Ok thanks alot guys, I almost had a heart attack. I'm going to go see them next week to clear things up. But wait a minute, how did I fail macm 101. I got a D which i dont like i was way too busy this semester lol.
  • You need a C- to use it as a prereq sorry.
  • a D is not a fail, you still get credit.
  • D is a pass but cannot be applied if the course you scored a D in is a pre-req for another course
  • damn, I need to to convince the teacher to upgrade it to C-. god damn leeches
  • As other said, if the class has OR's that means if any of those req you got a C- or higher you are good. Just talk with an advisor, but if you got B in 150 and that is one of possible pre-req you should be good to go
