Application for exemption and credit must be made through the Faculty Office via the Automated Student Request System (ASRS) via www.mona.uwi.edu/socsci/.
You may be permitted to do so at the discretion of the lecturer. Bear in mind, however, that a pre-requisite course provides many of the fundamental concepts required for the more advanced course.
Core courses are courses that students must complete in order to be awarded a degree. These courses are stated explicitly in the Faculty Handbook underneath your major/option/special or minor being pursued.
An elective or free elective is any course that is listed in the Faculty Handbook or departmental handbook which is optional in the degree programme concerned and may be selected from any Faculty.
An anti-requisite is a course with substantially overlapping content as another course and which therefore cannot be taken by a student, for credit, who has already completed the course for which it is an anti-requisite.
A pre-requisite is a course listed in the Faculty Handbook or departmental handbook which must be completed before registration for another course is permitted. Usually, a pre-requisite course provides many of the fundamental concepts required for the more advanced course.
