Prerequisites and Corequisites
Options to clear
- Assessment: Assessment results may satisfy some English, ESL and/or math prerequisites and/or corequisites. Scores from assessment
tests taken at other colleges/universities may be accepted. Please refer to Assessment for options and details or
- Completed SBCC Courses: Students who have completed a prerequisite or corequisite course at Santa Barbara City College and
received a grade of "C" or better will be permitted to enroll in the subsequent course requiring the prerequisite, or
- SBCC Courses In-Progress: Students who are currently enrolled in a prerequisite course at SBCC, but have not yet completed
the course, may register for the advanced course conditionally, but will not be permitted to attend the advanced class until
the prerequisite has been satisfied. Failure to pass the prerequisite course with "C" better will result in being dropped
from the course requiring the prerequisite, or
- External Coursework Completed: Students must file a Prerequisite Challenge Form A requesting consideration of coursework completed at other institutions as satisfaction of prerequisites and then register
for the advanced course. Transcripts must be on file with the SBCC Admissions & Records office or must be attached to the
Prerequisite Challenge, or
- External Coursework In-Progress: Students, who are currently enrolled in a prerequisite course at other institutions but have
not yet completed the course, must file a Prerequisite Challenge Form A and may then register for the advanced course conditionally, but will not be permitted to attend the advanced class until
the prerequisite has been satisfied. Failure to provide evidence that the external course was completed with a grade of "C"
better will result in being dropped from the course requiring the prerequisite or
- Other Options: In some cases prerequisites may be satisfied through means other than coursework, i.e., a student who is already
fluent in a foreign language but doesn't have any foreign language coursework. In such cases students must file a Prerequisite Challenge Form B.
