Need Help with Degree Plans

[Overlord]

I know what the page says, but you have to read between the lines. They're trying to discourage students from signing up for classes that they're wholly unqualified for, struggling, and then attempting to sue them "for false advertisement" or whatever. The school can always point to that line and say "see, we told you that you needed to be familiar with the material before enrolling".

The 3 courses thing just means you need to have at least 12 credits. It's easy enough these days to get that. This shows PUG that you are able to complete university-level work.

I understand. I’ve never dealt with this so I didn’t know. Thank you for explaining it. 
Can those 3 courses be online certification courses?
