Are you coming to El Camino from another college/university and need to take a class to transfer back to your home school? We got you.
The Online Prerequisite Clearance Form is a convenient way to have prerequisites cleared to register for specific classes for the upcoming semester.
So we may better serve you, please review the instructions and guidelines for the form.
If you are a new to college student enrolling after attending high school or have not complete prior college units and need English and Math clearances, first fill out the English and Math Placement survey, located on your MyECC account. This will help determine your placement. If you have AP credits of 3 or higher, the score reports can be reviewed for possible clearance. Click here for more information on the survey.
If you are taking a course for one semester and attend another college/university,
you may use the Online Prerequisite Clearance Form for clearance.
If you are transferring to El Camino from another college/university and need your transcripts fully reviewed
by a counselor, you can schedule a counseling appointment.
Please do not use the Online Prerequisite Form if you are trying to clear all prerequisites
for entrance into a program (Nursing, Radiologic Technology, Respiratory Care, etc).
Your transcripts should be evaluated by appointment.
Prerequisite: A condition students must meet to enroll in a course.
Corequisite: A course taken simultaneously to enroll in another course.
A recommended, but not required, course taken with or before another course. You are able to enroll in any class with a Recommended Preparation.
In general, prerequisite clearances sent during school holidays will be reviewed the
next business day. During peak registration times, the review time can be 3-5 business
days, or more.
