Science Prerequisites

IN ORDER TO GAIN APPROVAL, FOLLOW THESE STEPS

Submit one of the following forms:

OPTION A

STEP 1: Complete the PREREQUISITE & ASSESSMENT COMPLETION FORM... link to form

Use this form if you took a class at another school that meets the WLAC prerequisite and that outside course is OBVIOUSLY the same as the WLAC required prerequisite.

Examples:
At another college, you took Intro to Biology with a Lab = WLAC's Bio 3A & 3B
At another college, you took Trigonometry with Vectors = WLAC's Math 241

STEP 2: TO SUBMIT THE FORM TO ADMISSIONS

Follow the instructions on the form, include your student@LACCD.edu email address, and submit directly to admissions.

OPTION B

STEP 1: Complete the PREREQUISITE CHALLENGE FORM... link to form

Use this form if you took a class at another school that is similar to the WLAC prerequisite but perhaps not the same. Or, if you met the prerequisite through achievement on a test or work experience. When in doubt about which form to use, go with this one - the Prerequisite Challenge Form.

STEP 2. Complete the first page of the form – be sure to include your student@laccd.edu email.

STEP 3. Obtain unofficial or official transcripts that show a ‘C’ grade or better for the course you believe to be equivalent.

STEP 4. Submit the challenge form and transcripts to the appropriate faculty member listed below.

STEP 5: The faculty will then submit your documentation on your behalf. Do NOT try to submit the form directly to Admissions on your own.

STEP 6: You will receive an email indicating whether or not approval has been granted.

STEP 7: If approval is granted, your professor can then give you a Permission Number (Add Code) if you are accepted to add the course (see how to video).

Please note that being cleared to add a course is NOT acceptance into the course.
Your professor has the final say as to whether you can add their course.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The College will only email your approval to YOUR LACCD EMAIL, no other. Therefore it is critical to include your LACCD student email on the form.
