Counseling Department Prerequisite/Corequisite Courses Any student who has completed prerequisite courses at another college or in high school must bring a copy of their transcript from that institution to the Counseling Department and complete a Request For Prerequisite / Corequisite Validation Form prior to registration. You will be blocked from registration if you do not meet the specified prerequisites. Prerequisites and Enforcement When a course has a prerequisite, it means that a student must possess a certain body of knowledge to be successful in the course. The preexisting knowledge may be a skill, an ability, a placement preparation score, or successful completion of a course. Completion of a prerequisite course requires a grade of C or better or a grade of CR (credit). Students are responsible for meeting prerequisites as stated in the class schedule and college catalog. See a counselor for assistance in determining eligibility for a specific class. Students who do not meet stated prerequisites may be unable to register for or may be dropped from the class. The college’s registration process allows for prerequisite checking by computer. Students attempting to enroll in the computer-checked courses will be blocked from registration if they do not meet the specified prerequisites. Prerequisites are listed in the course descriptions within the schedule of classes and the college catalog. Assessment results from other colleges may not be used to meet prerequisites, so new students must arrange to take Chaffey's assessment testing prior to registration. Students who have completed prerequisite courses at another college or in high school must bring a copy of their transcripts from that institution to the Counseling Department, and complete a Request For Prerequisite / Corequisite Validation Form prior to registration. Please allow 7 days for processing the Prerequisite Validation Form. Students who are enrolled in the prerequisite course at Chaffey College at the time of their registration will be permitted to enroll in the subsequent course. Students who do not pass the prerequisite course with at least a grade of C or do not complete the prerequisite course will be dropped prior to the start of classes. Prerequisite/Corequisite Challenge Prerequisites for courses will be enforced according to college policy. Students have the right to challenge prerequisites on the following grounds:
The student must provide appropriate documentation when filing a challenge. Documentation may include, but is not limited to, high school or college transcripts, additional test results, work experience, or writing sample. Prior enrollment in the course does not exempt a student from the current prerequisite of that course. Attention Math Students: For students that are trying to challenge a math course and are trying to use their high school transcripts as documentation must also submit their Chaffey College assessment test scores along with the challenge form. If you haven't taken the assessment test, you must complete that first before submitting a challenge form for math. You must also have received grades of "A" or "B" in your math courses in high school. Students challenging a prerequisite must submit a Prerequisite/Corequisite Challenge form. The form must be filed in the Counseling Department up to one week prior to the beginning of each term. More information including the appropriate form for challenging a prerequisite is available through the Counseling Department. Questions regarding the challenge process should be directed to the Counseling Department at 909/652-6200. |
