About Prerequisites and Co-requisites

Many classes require prerequisites and/or corequisites. Here are the definitions of those terms:

• PREREQUISITE is a condition of enrollment that a student is required to meet in order to demonstrate readiness for enrollment in a course or educational program.
• COREQUISITE is a condition of enrollment consisting of a course that a student is required to simultaneously take in order to enroll in another course.
• RECOMMENDED is advisory only. The “recommended” notation reflects a condition of enrollment that is strongly advised but not required, to meet before or in conjunction with enrollment in a course or educational program.

Pre-requisites Checking and Registration Blocks

Courses with a prerequisite have computerized blocking in place. If you have not met the prerequisite(s) through either prerequisite course completion or placement, you will be blocked from enrolling in these courses.

Even if you secure an authorization code from the instructor, the block remains and you will be unable to register if the prerequisite requirement has not been met. If you believe you have met the prerequisite or you wish to challenge it, you should see a counselor.

Students who fail to meet the prerequisite or co-requisite requirements will be involuntarily dropped from the course.

Pre-requisite Challenge Procedures

Prerequisite challenges must be submitted to Admissions & Records on or before June 20 for Summer term, and August 17 for Fall term. Challenging course prerequisites or corequisites requires written documentation that explains the alternative course work, background, and/or abilities that prepare a student for the course.

Wait Lists

If a class has reached its maximum enrollment limit, you may be able to add your name to the waitlist. Follow the registration instructions. After clicking Submit Changes, you will receive a red warning message indicating that the class you have tried to sign up for is full. You may add yourself to the wait list for the class by clicking on “Submit Changes” one more time. Please Note: The wait list operates based on your valid mySMCCD e-mail address.

If your name comes to the top of the wait list, you will be sent an e-mail to your mySMCCD email account instructing you to register for class. Upon notification, you will have 72 hours from the time the e-mail is sent to you to register for the class. If you fail to register for the class within 72 hours, the space will be offered to the next student, your name will be dropped from the wait list and you will have to go through the registration process again to add your name to the wait list.

Once you enroll in a course, you will be automatically removed from all waitlists for that course. If a space does not open up to allow your enrollment, you can go to the first class meeting where an instructor may choose to add students.

Late Registration: January 17-30

During the late registration period, students may add classes based on the space availability. Those students who are on the wait list and receive an authorization/add code from the instructor may register during this period.

1. Attend the first class meeting and ask the instructor if space is available.
