Corequisite required

A requirement that, to register for a course, a student must also register for one or more specified corequisite courses in the same term.

In plain English

This means the course cannot be taken by itself. To sign up for it, the other named corequisite course or courses must be registered for in the same term.

In context

Here, it warns that registration for this course depends on also registering for the specified paired class in the same term.

Situation
Enrolling in courses, choosing sections, joining waitlists, and reading class status
What it communicates
warns that a paired course or section is needed.

Meaning limits

By itself, the term does not say whether space is available or whether every other registration condition is satisfied.

Examples

“Because the lab was corequisite required with the lecture, Omar registered for both in the spring term.”

Core meaning

“If the seminar shows as corequisite required, add the paired workshop in the same term before finishing registration.”
