• Departments may designate a C- as the minimum grade required for students to advance to the next course in a sequence if the C- minimum is clearly indicated under the catalog description for the class and "or consent of instructor" is included along with the C- prerequisite in sequenced courses to allow individual students the opportunity to make a case for exceptions.

• A footnote under the university grading policy in the catalog alerts students to the possibility that certain sequenced courses may have a C- prerequisite for advancement.

• C- prerequisites are enforced by departmental faculty or advisors (not the Records Office) during the Add/Drop period.
