Three types of prerequisite checks are employed at UCI:
- Course Prerequisite Eligibility Project (CPEP)
- Comprehensive Active Prerequisite Checking System (CAP)
- Passive Prerequisite Check
Course Prerequisite Eligibility Project (CPEP)
- Active prerequisite check that takes place when students request courses during WebReg course enrollment.
- Department personnel transmit to the Registrar's Office electronic lists of students who are eligible to enroll in selected courses.
- When a student requests a CPEP course, the list is checked to see if the student is eligible. Students ineligible for a course are instructed by WebReg to contact their academic advising office.
More information on CPEP.
Comprehensive Active Prerequisite Checking System (CAP)
- Active prerequisite check that takes place when students request courses during WebReg course enrollment.
- The system accesses the student's UCI academic record and transfer credit work to determine satisfaction of course prerequisites before allowing students to enroll in a course via WebReg.
- UCI academic units must identify which courses at other institutions are equivalent to UCI courses before transfer credit work can be included in the check.
- Departments may authorize students requiring an exception via CPEP.
More information on CAP.
Passive Prerequisite Check
- Students are allowed to enroll in courses without a prerequisite check. Students often satisfy prerequisites at other institutions and transfer credit work may not yet be in machine-readable format.
- A computer listing is provided to the academic unit. This identifies students enrolled in the course who did not satisfy specified prerequisites.
