Differential Equations Without Linear Algebra

Okay so I am in community college currently. I'm trying to transfer out to a different to uni for applied mathematics. The course requirements for the specific uni isn't asking for linear so it was never put into my student plan by STEM specific counselor. I have taken and completed up to calc 3. I am currently in differential equations. Will I be okay without having taken linear algebra for this semester? My professor said it'd be okay if I didn't as she'd teach us. I'm also guessing I should take it next semester even though it's not required right?
