Registering for Prerequisites that can be taken Concurrently

Hi,
I have 3 courses that are prerequisite to each other, but "can be taken concurrently". I have it where there's Course 1, then Course 2 has Course 1 as Prerequisite with "can be taken concurrently" and then Course 3 has Course 2 as Prerequisite with "can be taken concurrently."

We offer all 3 courses the same semester as modules which is why it's setup this way (Course 1 runs from beginning of semester for 7 weeks, then Course 2 picks up and runs 5 weeks, then Course 3 picks up and runs 3 weeks).

So, when a student goes to register it only shows Course 1 and it's confusing them. If they enroll for Course 1 then it shows Course 2, then they enroll for Course 2 and then it'll show Course 3 and then they can enroll, so it takes 3 separate enrollments to get through it.

Is there a way to show the courses that are Prerequisite with "enroll concurrently" on the registration screen with a message / warning that they can only be selected if the first course is?

We've just found it super confusing for our students. They look at the courses and only see Course 1 but know they're supposed to sign up for all 3.

Thanks!
Josh
