Students who plan to matriculate in the fall should provide notification of enrollment in their prerequisite coursework no later than May 15. If you are currently taking or plan to take a course to fulfill a prerequisite, please provide information about the course here.

If desired, students may send a copy of the syllabus or detailed course description for review and approval before they enroll and pay for prerequisite courses. While this step is not required, we encourage students to be sure that the course covers the required topics. Students are welcomed and encouraged to send the course syllabus to nsoe-registrar@duke.edu. Students should allow up to 3-5 business days for the review process to be completed and to receive a response via email.
