The Prerequisite Office
The Prerequisite Office can assist you via email with your prerequisite clearances, English and Math placements, and challenges as well as provide you with basic academic advisement, helping you determine whether or not you need to make an appointment with a counselor.
What Are Prerequisites?
Some courses at ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ have prerequisites, which is a specific level of preparation that you must have before you can take the course. In order to register for a class with prerequisites, you will need to satisfy its prerequisites before your registration date.
You can satisfy prerequisites by successfully completing a course or placing into the course (determined by your Math and English placement).
If you satisfy the prerequisite through passing a course at ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿C or your current ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿C Math/English placement, the prerequisite will automatically be cleared and you will be allowed to enroll in the class. But, if you satisfied it elsewhere, then you will need to submit a request for a prerequisite clearance, using the directions below.
Placement
You may view your placements in LancerPoint 1-2 days after receiving your ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿C/Lancer ID#.
- LancerPoint > Hamburger Menu > Discover > search "placement" > View Placement Results
If you are an ESL Student or International Student or you would like to get a new placement, complete the Directed Self-Placement within the online orientation. If you have already completed the online orientation, you may go back into the online orientation and only complete the placement section.
Go to Online Orientation to take Directed Self-Placement
Prerequisite Clearance
Prerequisite Clearances are not automatic for:
- Courses completed at another institution.
- Placement into English/Math based on Early Assessment Program (EAP) exam results.
- Placement into English/Math based on high school coursework not previously provided.
For all general students, please see the information below to get clearance for these prerequisites.
If you are using credits from another college to satisfy the prerequisites for a course, you will need to have proof of eligibility for the course and submit a request for prerequisite clearance with each specific class (possibly each term).
Proof of Eligibility
We will grant approval for enrollment to the course if you provide official or unofficial transcripts from previous colleges with the following:
