Prerequisite Instructions and Forms

Step 1. Gather Your Support Documents

Ways to satisfy a prerequisite requirement include:

1) Equivalent/substitute couresework from another institution

2) Advanced Placement scores

3) Grounds other than coursework (see below for details)

  • If you are using equivalent/substitute coursework from another institution:  
    • Acceptable coursework includes:
      • Completed high school courses (ex: chemistry, physics, foreign language courses) with a grade of C-, Pass or Credit where Pass/Credit = C- or above.
      • Completed college/university courses from regionally accredited institutions with a grade of C, Pass or Credit where Pass/Credit = C/2.0 or above.
    • Follow the instructions on Incoming Transcripts to submit your transcripts to SBCC Admissions & Records and verify your transcripts have been received. Transcripts sent anywhere other than directly from your prior institution to Admissions & Records are considered unofficial.
    • To avoid significant delays in the processing of your prerequisite request you need to do the following:
      1. Submit your OFFICIAL transcripts to Admissions & Records using the instructions above. We will verify your official transcripts once they are available. Your prerequisite clearance may be revoked and you may be dropped from the course if you do not submit your official transcripts or if they do not match your unofficial transcripts.
      2. We will make a TEMPORARY decision based on your unofficial transcripts if you attach the following to your prerequisite form (both are required): 
        1. A copy of your unofficial transcripts.
        2. Proof that your official transcripts were sent from your institution to Admissions & Records (ex: an email confirmation). 
    • HIGH SCHOOL COUNSELORS/ADMINISTRATORS: Please submit transcripts directly to A&R. Transcripts sent to the Transcript Evaluation Office will be considered official on a case-by-case basis, but if you send them to us instead of A&R it may delay the student's prerequisite clearance request.
  • If you are using grounds other than coursework or AP scores (such as work experience, fluency in a language, licenses or certificates, etc.), or as directed by SBCC staff:
    • Prepare a written statement with reasoning supporting the basis for your pre/co-requisite request. You will attach this to your request.
    • If you are using a license, certification, etc. as justification for your request you must attach a copy of the document(s).
