Prerequisite Revision Review
I. Summary of Prerequisite Revision
Dept / Program
Geosciences
Prefix & Course # Geo 528
Course Title
Sedimentary Basin Analysis
Has the Department gone through common course review?
□XYes □No □In process
If Yes or In Process please use new rubric / numbers.
Rationale 
GEO 528 is a graduate level class in sedimentary geology. Students need either to have had one or the other
advanced classes in sedimentary geology (or petroleum geology) or have graduate standing to take GEO 528.
Thus, I am allowing qualified undergrads to take this class if they have had the appropriate background
coursework.
