All prerequisite override requests must be emailed to undergraduate@stat.tamu.edu
Emails must include the following information:
- Student Name
- UIN
- Major
- Course Requested
- Semester Requested
- Prerequisite course taken and grade earned
- Institution where prerequisite course was completed
Students wanting to register for STAT courses in an upcoming semester but who have not yet met the prerequisite requirements have the following options:
- Students taking a prerequisite course at TAMU in the upcoming summer semester may enroll themselves in their fall courses after they are enrolled in the prerequisite course for the summer semester.
- Students taking a prerequisite course outside of TAMU will need to show proof of fulfilling the prerequisite requirements before a PREREQ override will be placed on the student’s account.
- Blinn TEAM and TEAB students may receive prerequisite errors for several reasons: (1) either you registered late for Blinn classes, and your Spring courses were not on the transcript Blinn sent to A&M at the beginning of the semester, or (2) you have a hold (such as an unpaid parking ticket at Blinn) that prevented your transcript from being sent. Once your in-progress (IP) course(s) at Blinn is posted in Howdy, you will satisfy the prerequisite and be able to register for the other courses. If you are a TEAB or Blinn TEAM student, and need help with a prerequisite override, please email undergraduate@stat.tamu.edu.
- If you have not yet sent your official transcript to TAMU, or are waiting for it to be processed, we will accept the following forms of proof:
- Copy of final grade (unofficial transcript pdf preferred) earned in prerequisite course, if the course was taken from an approved college or university and accepted as a transfer equivalency course at TAMU
- Credit for prerequisite course is included on the student’s TAMU transcript
Prerequisite requirements are strictly enforced. Students must meet the listed prerequisite requirement to enroll in a course. If a student feels they have the necessary prerequisite knowledge from a different class, research/internship experience, etc., and would like to request a waiver, they must speak with the STAT instructor teaching the course to determine if they have the prerequisite knowledge needed to be successful. If so, they must have written approval from the instructor granting them permission to waive the prerequisite requirement in order to enroll.
