Multiple Rewrite Rules?

Simple question: If I want to add more rewrite rules to my .htaccess file, can I literally just ammend them to the end of the file?

Eg, my current .htaccess file


RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase     /dev/
RewriteRule ^students/([A-Za-z\_\-\']+)/?$ students.php?student=$1 [QSA]

Can I just add a line like this?


RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase     /dev/
RewriteRule ^students/([A-Za-z\_\-\']+)/?$ students.php?student=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^courses/([A-Za-z\_\-\']+)/?$ courses.php?course=$1 [QSA]
