This message is addressed to all those who will advise entering 
students in the next few weeks. As many of you know, History 103, 
104, and 105 are a popular option to satisfy the Cultures & 
Civilization requirement in our general education program. Currently, 
all 17 sections of 103 and 104 are full. But there are five sections 
of History 105 which are still open.  The catalogue states that a 
student must have 103 before taking 104 and 103 and 104 before 
enrolling in 105. For many reasons, the history department has never 
been in a position to enforce those prerequisites and has customarily 
waived them. In fact, the prerequisites for the world history courses 
do not have the logical imperative that mathematics courses have. One 
can understand, e.g., the material in history 105 without having 
taken history 103 and 104.

So, if you have  a student that needs to enroll in a cultures and 
civilization course, please feel free to put them into a 105 section. 
However, those students should also be enrolled in a section of 
English 121 if they do not already have credit for that course.
