ELIGIBILITY FOR COURSES
It is the policy of the Glendale Community College District that
every class offered, unless otherwise indicated in the official
catalog and schedule of classes, shall be fully open to enrollment
and participation by any person who meets the academic pre-
requisites of such class, and who is otherwise eligible for admis-
sion to and enrollment in the college. Students may occasionally
have had experience in a given area which they may feel will
substantially satisfy the stated prerequisite for a course. In this
situation, the student must have a prerequisite/corequisite challenge
process petition approved to make such substitution. Once such a
petition has been approved, students may not later receive credit
for a course for which they substituted the outside experience.
Students who are considering developing a petition should first
read the section on Credit by Examination.
Credit for lower level courses will not be granted if credits have
been earned in higher level courses. Some courses have no stated
prerequisite; however, many courses have expected skill levels
in reading, writing, listening/speaking and math. It has been
substantiated that students enrolled in a course with the stated
skill levels are more successful in satisfactorily completing the
course. Students should check the current schedule of classes
for a complete explanation on how to match skill level to an
appropriate course.
Counselors consider these factors when assisting students to
complete their Student Educational Plan (SEP). Students will
during a registration period.
ENROLLMENT PRIORITY
Effective Fall 2014, in compliance with Title V - Enrollment Pri-
orities, all new incoming students must be fully matriculated to
receive enrollment priority for registration. Full matriculation
includes completion of an assessment placement test, orientation,
and counseling - Abbreviated Student Educational Plan (SEP).
Timely completion of the assessment placement, orientation, and
counseling - Abbreviated SEP may result in a higher registra-
tion priority. Students who do not complete this process by the
admission application deadline will receive a lower registration
priority. Admission application deadlines are printed in the
spring and fall class schedules in addition to be being posted on
the Admissions and Records Important Dates Calendar online
at www.glendale.edu/importantdates.
AND APPEAL PROCESS
Continuing Students would lose enrollment priority if they have
either earned more than 100 units (not including non-degree
applicable courses) or have been on academic or progress proba-
tion for two (2) consecutive semesters (Spring/Fall). If the student
has lost their priority registration, a registration hold will be
posted to the student’s MyGCC student portal. The registra-
tion hold prevents the student from registering during priority
registration. Once priority registration has commenced, the
registration hold will automatically be released and the student
will be allowed to register during open registration.
