Students who meet the calculus prerequisite for this course through Advanced Placement standing or by taking a calculus course at another university must submit a Prerequisite Override Form to the Registrar's Office. The form must be signed by instructor or by the Economics Department Chair at the Academic Forum. The form is available at the Registrar's Office.
