Ventura College is now enforcing class pre- and corequisites. Information for prerequisite and corequisite requirements can be found below as can an explanation of how to challenge a pre- or corequisite. Please note: the information below applies only to Ventura College.
Prerequisites and Corequisites Requirements
A prerequisite is a course that the student is required to complete with a grade of “C’ or better before the student can enroll in the next more advanced course. A corequisite is a course which the student must take at the same time s/he is taking another course.
All prerequisites and co-requisites on course enrollment are strictly enforced at the time of the student’s registration. All prerequisites and co-requisites are stated in the course descriptions in the college catalog and in the class schedule.
