for an El Camino College course in which he/she wishes to enroll, the student may
submit a Prerequisite Clearance Form and appropriate documentation for review.

- The hours of operation for the online prerequisite clearance processing are Monday
through Thursday, 8:00am to 4:00pm and Fridays 9:00am to 1:00pm. Emails received
after hours will be reviewed the next business day.
A prerequisite is a condition of enrollment that a student is required to meet in
order to demonstrate readiness for enrolling in a course or educational program. Co-requisites
are courses that a student is required to take simultaneously in order to enroll in
another course. A recommended preparation is an advisory for a course that a student
is advised, but not required, to take in conjunction with, or prior to, a course or
program. Colleges shall ensure that course prerequisites and co-requisites are properly
validated pursuant to Title 5 and El Camino College District Administrative Procedure
4260.
