Prerequisite Clearance Request 

Students in Special Programs (i.e., EOPS, SSD, Veterans, TriO, Black Scholars, DRC, etc.) should contact their program for assistance with prerequisite clearance and/or enrolling in excess units.

Students are responsible for meeting all course prerequisites. Course prerequisites are listed in the Schedule of Classes and College Catalog. If a prerequisite course has been completed, at any accredited US college/university with a C or higher grade, a student may request prerequisite clearance. Courses in-progress cannot be used to clear prerequisites. Students may use copies of unofficial transcripts to clear prerequisites, but must request official copies to be sent to LAVC Admissions and Records Office as soon as possible in order to earn credits for those courses.

TO REQUEST A PREREQUISITE CLEARANCE: 

  • Complete and submit the LAVC Prerequisite Clearance Form
  • Make sure to attach an unofficial copy of your transcript with a passing grade of "C" or better for the prerequisite course.

If your request is approved, you can proceed with your enrollment process. If your request is denied, a counselor may assist you with filing a Prerequisite Challenge with the discipline Department Chairperson.

Excess Units Request

Students in Special Programs (i.e., EOPS, SSD, Veterans, TriO, Black Scholars, DRC, etc.) should contact their program for assistance with prerequisite clearance and/or enrolling in excess units.

You may enroll in up to 19 units for Fall/Spring semester and up to 9 units for Winter/Summer intersession. In order to enroll in additional units, follow these instructions: 

Complete this Excess Units Request Form and email it to prerequisites@car-rentalturkey.com from your LACCD student email account. Requests sent from a personal email will not be processed.
