Course Prerequisites

The instructor of any course (other than health careers classes and ENG-105) may waive any stated prerequisite of the course when, in the judgment of the instructor, the student can demonstrate sufficient evidence to justify enrollment.

Course Offerings

If there is sufficient demand, courses may be offered more frequently than announced. Insufficient demand or unforeseen staffing problems may result in the cancellation of announced offerings. Southeastern Community College reserves the right to alter the course offerings and/or course content without further notice. Students are advised to consult the schedule of classes available in Enrollment Services.
