<p>Hey CC,</p>
<p>Does anyone know how much prerequisites for a class are enforced?</p>
<p>I just enrolled in an upper division class in the Spanish department, but the prereq. was Spanish 25, which I have not taken.</p>
<p>Will I be kicked out the class once school starts.</p>
<p>BTW, I'm a native spanish speaker.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>No one really cares.</p>
<p>If you can handle the coursework, then take the class.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks!</p>
<p>I was looking over the course description/book list and it seems pretty doable.</p>
<p>Is this the case for every class? Like Telebears wont drop you from the class or something if it detects that you’re missing a prerequisite?</p>
<p>The only classes I’ve seen that drop people because of a lack of prerequisites are those that are extremely popular and full. The professor might give an advantage to more senior students or students in a particular major that way.</p>
<p>At CalSO they said Berkeley does not enforce Prereqs.</p>
<p>Can anyone else confirm that Berk doesn’t enforce prereqs?</p>
<p>Telebears is stupid. There you have it.</p>
<p>some classes will tell you straight up that they check prereqs (chem 3b, bio 1a, ph150a) otherwise most don’t/</p>
<p>It can only enforce what it knows directly about you, but it does not have a way to search through your transcript, thus can’t tell what you already completed or what you have earned equivalent credit for. There are a few markers in Bearfacts (your personal profile) that list your class level, college, declared status, major . . . these are the only things that telebears can enforce. If a professor or department wants to enforce anything else, it has to do it manually. Most don’t bother.</p>
