PREREQUISITE CLEARANCE

If you are attempting to enroll in a course and an error reading, “See Counseling for Prerequisite Clearance” appears, or if you know you need to be cleared for a prerequisite or corequisite, you must complete the online Prerequisite Clearance Request Form before attempting to enroll. It is highly recommended that you seek approval for the clearance before your registration appointment. Otherwise, your enrollment may be delayed. 

The only in progress prerequisite courses that can be cleared are those being taken within the Ventura County Community College District (VCCCD). Prerequisite courses being completed in high school, at other colleges/universities (outside of VCCCD), or through AP exams,  cannot be cleared until the final grade or score is posted. Please note, you must must have a final grade of C or better or an AP score of 3 or higher to be considered for clearance. To process your prerequisite clearance request, you must attach an unofficial transcript and/or AP scores. 

Important:

Eligibility for prerequisite clearance does not mean you have been advised by the Oxnard College Counseling Department on whether the course is the best fit for you. This is especially important for STEM courses (e.g., math, physics, chemistry, biology). We strongly recommend meeting with a counselor to ensure you're enrolling in the correct courses for your degree and/or transfer requirements.

Taking courses for your STEM major across multiple campuses may affect your transfer or degree eligibility, so please verify with a counselor first.

Students visiting Oxnard College from other colleges or universities should first consult with their home campus advisor for guidance on course selection.
