The registration system will let you register for courses if you are enrolled in the prerequisite course at UofSC at the time you register. If you do not get the required grade in the course you are taking, you will need to adjust your schedule prior to the start of the next term. (If you do not make appropriate changes yourself, you will be dropped from the next course when it is noted that you do not meet the prerequisite.)

If you are going to take the required course at UofSC in the summer, register for the summer course first and go to the previous question. If you are going to take the required course elsewhere, there are some things you need to know, some that deal with the Mathematics Department and some that don't.

This can happen if you have taken a course outside the UofSC system, including AP Calculus or IB Mathematics (higher level). It is up to you and not the Mathematics Department to make sure that the Admissions Office receives the courses you have taken so that you can register for the courses you want. Note that there are certain instances when courses will not transfer. For example, UofSC policy does not allow you to get credit for a course from outside the UofSC system if you have already attempted the course inside the UofSC system. The answer to the question though is, “Yes.” Complete information is on the Overrides webpage maintained by the Department of Mathematics.

The confusion here seems to stem from students thinking that higher numbered courses mean that the student has mastered the material in lower numbered courses. But this is not the case. MATH 122 is not a prerequisite for MATH 141. The prerequisite for MATH 141 is earning a C or better in MATH 115 (or 112 or 116) or obtaining a score of at least 142 on MAP or at least 19 on the Pre-Calculus part of the former MPT.
