Prerequisites and Co-requisites

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

In Electrical and Computer Engineering, we take pre- and co-requisites seriously. They are an important part of the curriculum structure, and must be respected by all students. Please take a minute to review the follow rules.

To register for a course, you must:

  • have passed the co-requisite course(s), or register simultaneously in the co-requisite course(s);
  • have passed the prerequisite course(s); and
  • have passed the co-requisite(s) of the prerequisite course(s).

    • For Electrical and Computer Engineering courses (ECSE xxx), pre- and co-requisites that are themselves ECE courses, must be passed with a grade of C or better (D is not acceptable).

    To check the pre- and co-requisites for each course, consult the latest version of your program curriculum, available on our web site, http://www.mcgill.ca/ece/undergraduate/curriculum/ or in room 2060, Pavillion L.M. Trottier Building. If you have any doubts about the pre- and co-requisites for a course, consult a Departmental Adviser.

    In some clearly defined cases, MINERVA will use the prerequisite rules to stop you from registering. However, it does not catch all the cases. Just because MINERVA allows you to register does not mean that you are not in violation of the rules stated above. It is your responsibility to know and to follow the rules.

    Permission to waive a pre- or co-requisite requirement will be granted only in exceptional cases. Permission must be given in writing by a Departmental Adviser. The permission of the course instructor is NOT sufficient.

    If it comes to our attention that you are registered in a course without satisfying the pre – and co-requisite requirements, and without permission to do so from an adviser, you will be withdrawn from the course. This may be done at ANY point in the term.

    Professor J. Webb, Associate Chairman
