About Online Courses
Online courses taken prior to spring 2020 cannot be used to meet any of the prerequisites. However, in response to the unique pandemic circumstances, online courses taken during 2020 spring, summer, and fall semesters, and the spring 2021 semester will be accepted.
If the online course fulfills a science requirement, it must have a standard letter grade. All other online courses taken during the spring and summer 2020 semesters may have a Pass grade. All online classes taken in or after the fall 2020 semester require a standard letter grade.
