Prerequisites
PREREQUISITES:
It is the student’s responsibility to meet any prerequisites for a class. A prerequisite is a requirement that a student demonstrates current readiness to enroll in a particular course or program. Prerequisites are listed in the Schedule of Classes and Course Catalog.
Students may use official or unofficial transcripts to clear prerequisites based on classes taken at California colleges and universities. Prerequisites cannot be cleared based on high school credit, high school transcripts, or high school counselor recommendation.
If the student feels they meet a prerequisite for a class, from their student LACCD email address, send an email to prerequisites@lavc.edu and include:
Last Name, First Name
LACCD Student ID Number
Course(s) for which they are attempting to enroll
Course(s) on their transcript which they believe meet the prerequisite(s)

The student’s LACCD email can be found in their Student Portal. Helpful YouTube video on how to access the students LACCD email address, CLICK HERE
