Once you read the calendar description of a course, you may find you're missing a prerequisite and need to upgrade some of your academic skills before you take a desired course. There are a variety of non-credit courses available that can help you meet the requirements for taking a course.

The U of M offers 3 non-credit courses that allow you to upgrade to Senior 4 Chemistry, Physics and Pre-calculus:

• CHEM 0900 Preparatory Chemistry
• PHYS 0900 Preparing for University Physics
• Mathematical Skills (offered by Extended Education)

If you don’t have the pre-requisites from High School, taking these courses and passing them will fulfill the high school pre-requisite. You will find the preparatory Chemistry and Physics courses in the calendar, in the appropriate departments, and you can register for them the same way as you would a regular course.

Math Skills is not listed in the calendar. It is offered on campus through the Extended Education Division. You can find out more about this course and register for it on the Extended Education Division website.
