Class Association Requisites Field Descriptions

Also Use Catalog Requisite	If ‘checked’, enrollment engine will enforce both the Catalog Requisite AND the Class Association (i.e., section-level) requisite. These two requisites will work together. If ‘unchecked’, enrollment engine will enforce only requisites placed at the Class Association level; Curricular Representatives may not uncheck this.
Requirement Group	Requirement group number to be enforced through the enrollment engine. Academic requirements (such as prior coursework) may generally only be enforced via the catalog requisite rather than the section-level requisite; the primary exceptions are topics courses.
