NOTE: If you are enrolled in CHM 201 but have not passed ("C" or better) CHM103 at LTCC, the administration may drop you from CHM201 ~OR~ you may be "blocked" from enrolling in CHM201 via Webreg. If this happens, you will need to complete a Prerequisite Appeal Petition (available in the counseling office) that explains (1) how you have completed CHM103 or equivalent, or (2) why you should be allowed to take these classes out of sequence.
