Functional prerequisites

  • This section identifies the modules or course codes for the actual programs of study in adult general education that are specific prerequisites in language of instruction and mathematics. Functional prerequisites includes the successful completion of specific prerequisites as well as the general development test (GDT).

For programs that lead to an AVS, specific prerequisites and the GDT do not apply (N/A).
