Prerequisite Waiver Request Form - for TRU Gaglardi Students

Before you start

A prerequisite is another course or requirement which must be met prior to enrolling in a subsequent course. Course prerequisites are listed in Degree Works, the course schedule, and in the TRU Calendar course description area.

In the event you have received a “prerequisite not met” error message when registering, it is likely that you have not followed the proper sequencing of courses in your program or that the registration system is not properly “reading” your prerequisite course.

Requests are not automatically approved.  Proper course planning and sequencing of your course requirements can eliminate the need for a PRW request.

Before you fill out this PRW Request Form:

1. Review the planning tools provided on our website before you proceed with your registration
2. If you cannot resolve the error message and find yourself in one of the following circumstances, fill out this PRW Request form.
   • Prerequisite requirements have been successfully completed
   • In the process of completing the prerequisite requirements from a previous semester
   • A prerequisite requirement is not a part of their program requirements
   • The prerequisite requirement is met by unspecified transfer credits
   • In some circumstances, students waiting for their transfer credit assessment result

Important! Advisors may grant approval for any of the above circumstances. Please note they do not have the authority to override your program requirements.

Important: As a student, you are responsible for understanding your program requirements, following the correct course sequence, and meeting all graduation requirements. Not following the correct course plan can lead to delays in your graduation.
