A pre-requisite is a unit that you must study before you can enrol in the next, associated unit. Most commonly, this is because the pre-requisite unit gives you the knowledge you need to take the next unit.
A co-requisite is a unit that you must study before or at the same time as another associated unit. Most commonly, this is because the co-requisite unit gives you the complementary knowledge you need to succeed in both units.
A restriction describes a unit that you may not count with another unit in the same course. Most commonly, this is because the two units have some commonality.
