Co-requisite Courses

• Co-requisite is a course that must be taken at the same time as another course. These courses include developmental math and developmental English. 

Corequisite Support

The purpose of corequisite support courses is to give developmental students extra help needed to be successful in the college level course. In the corequisite support course, the instructor may review prerequisite skills, provide additional instruction, lead guided homework practice, conduct one-on-one or small group tutoring, discuss general learning and study skills, and any additional topics that could aid and improve student success.

Enrollment Criteria

Once enrolled in a pair of corequisite courses, students are expected to complete BOTH courses within the SAME semester. If a student enrolled in corequisite courses withdraws or drops from one course in the corequisite pair, then he/she will be dropped from the other linked course. That is, students WILL NOT have the option of remaining in the college-level course if they have been withdrawn or dropped from the developmental support course.

Scheduling

Corequisite courses are scheduled as a pair so that they meet one right after the other on the same days. In some cases, the corequisite support course meets first followed by the college level course, while in other cases the college level course meets first followed by the corequisite support course. The two courses run concurrently for the entire 16-week semester, and in many instances both classes are taught by the same instructor. It should be noted that corequisites courses are LINKED. This means that when a student registers for one class in the corequisite pair, the other class in the pair will automatically be added to their class schedule.

If you are teaching a co-requisite course, please ensure you enter a syllabus for each course. The easiest way to do this is to go to https://templejc.simplesyllabus.com/  and enter your syllabi there. Once you've published, you can quickly download and attach them to your D2L shell. 

Cross-listed Courses

A cross-listed course is one that is offered by more than one discipline, department or faculty, but has the same content and in which students should expect to have the same or similar experience.

Example: ENVR-1301 Environmental Science I and GEOL-1305 Environmental Science I

These courses have the same outcomes, they’re offered at the same level, and they have an identical course descriptions. Students can enroll in either course number depending on which one will best help them meet their program requirements or which one they would prefer on their transcript. The courses are offered as one class, not two classes, and the students from both disciplines learn together.

For cross-listed courses, please add a text box after the course description stating that the course is cross-listed and the outcomes are identical. Using the example above:

ENVR-1301 and GEOL-1305 are cross-listed courses, and the state-identified outcomes are identical for both courses. This syllabi for the two courses, consequently, are identical. 

If you are teaching a cross-listed course, you will only need one syllabus with both course names listed such as “Environmental Science I  ENVR-1301 and GEOL-1305” because your student learning outcomes are identical.  Each of the two cross-listed courses will have a D2L shell created which eLearning will inactivate (to prevent student access) as well post a “DO NOT USE” news item message for the faculty not to use.  

The cross-listed (combined title) course is the course shell that you will use with your students.  Enter your syllabus into this combined shell with your students.  Once you've published, this syllabus should appear for both courses in your syllabus library. 

"Stacked" Courses (sections put together for various reason including minimum seat requirements)

Occasionally, different courses will be offered at the same time in order for the course to make. These courses will have different student learning outcomes, but are in a related field. For example, a faculty might teach Painting I and Painting II student at the same time. The faculty will have different measures for the attainment of learning outcomes for each course, but students will meet at the same time for course instruction. 

Note: This term is used only for the purpose of naming, and does not refer to those courses where students can stack credentials towards course credit. 

If you are teaching a "stacked" course, please ensure you enter a syllabus for each course. The easiest way to do this is to go to https://templejc.simplesyllabus.com/  and enter your syllabi there. Once you've published, you can quickly download and attach them to your D2L shell.
