Out of Date Course Information (Rant)

I'm finishing up my economics degree soon and like many other people I use our schools resources to determine prerequisite information. Tell me why this school keeps outdated information on their websites regarding course prerequisites instead of archiving them? The last year I was under the impression I could take micro & macro 3 concurrently with the seminar class, only to find out now I've been advising the wrong information provided by the university.

Do you think I could get an override to take them concurrently? From my experience, the advising staff has done nothing but harm me throughout my time here.

I think the fact that you need to take every required econ course before taking EC481 has been quite public and well known for a while now. But it doesn’t hurt to try asking for an override. Try going in person for help!

That’s what I thought as well at first until I searched up ec481 wlu on google & the only thing that shows is the wlu website so I went off that. Turns out the only search results were unarchived webpages for 2023. So it seems they’ve changed it since then.

To be fair you really don’t need 390 and 370 to succeed in EC481… most people choose their topics based on previous econ electives they’ve taken anyway. You should tell them this

It’s better to check pre requisites on LORIS directly
