As the University of Houston (UH) continues to grow into its place as a Tier 1 university, there is a need for increasing our self-expectations and standards. We can achieve clearer and higher standards by bringing intentionality to the forefront of discussions, in this case on prerequisite expectations for undergraduate courses. 

The goal of this document is to assist proposers in assuring that prerequisites are intentional and serve students in their learning paths. The guidance represents a community standard of conventions agreed upon by the faculty of the Undergraduate Committee.
