Notes
Students who took ACC 124 in Semester 1, must take ACC 125 Principles of Accounting II.
The sequence of ACC 124, 125 and 202 is equivalent to the sequence of ACC 201 and 202 and vice versa. Therefore, credit will not be given for both sequences. A student who has completed ACC 124 or ACC 125 may not use ACC 201 as an elective for any AS or AAS degree. Similarly, a student who has completed ACC 201 may not use ACC 124 and ACC 125 as an elective for any AA degree.
In order to obtain an accounting certificate or degree, students must pass all required accounting courses with a grade of “C” or better. Recommended schedules for full-time students: please see an academic advisor for help in choosing ACC 124 or ACC 201.
