For the problem of students not having had the opportunity to take prerequisite courses before enrolling in more advanced studies, this paper proposes a solution that will specifically enable students to acquire the needed skills. The proposed solution addresses a method in which such students will be required to complete a minimum amount of independent introductory coursework before being admitted to the advanced level.

Keywords: student preparedness, curriculum requirements, students lacking prerequisites, courses out-of-sequence
