5. My program requires me to take ECON 101 and 102 - can I take both in the same semester?
ECON 101 is the official prerequisite for ECON 102. Instructors of ECON 102 are not required to cover basic supply and demand theory and other elementary items covered in both courses, and typically will not do so. However, for students whose programs or schedules require it, permission to take ECON 101 at the same time as ECON 102, or to take ECON 102 without taking ECON 101 at all, is given on completion of this form. This form is for the use of the University of Alberta, Department of Economics, only.
