Course Name and Number
(check one only)
I am challenging the pre/co-requisite for the following reason: (Check one box. Write statement below to support your
petition. Sign and date form, and return to the Admissions and Record Office)
I have acquired through work or life experiences the skills and knowledge that are represented by the pre-requisite.
I have not been allowed to enroll due to a limitation on enrollment established for a course that involves intercollegiate
competition or public performance or where enrollment has been limited to a cohort of students. However, I would be
delayed by a semester or more in attaining the degree or certificate specified in my Student Educational Plan.
I can demonstrate that I do not pose a threat to others or myself in a course with a pre-requisite established to protect
health and safety.
I do not believe that the pre-requisite is necessary for success in the course or that it has been established in accordance
with District’s policies and procedures.
I believe that the pre-requisite or co-requisite is either unlawfully discriminatory or is being applied in an unlawfully
discriminatory manner.
I will be subject to undue delay in attaining the goal in my educational plan because the pre-requisite or co-requisite
course has not been made reasonably available.
