GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRATION

DOUBLE-CHECK everything carefully. The college assumes no responsibility to adjust time conflicts which are the result of the student’s own error. The online registration system will catch most time conflicts, but the final responsibility is yours.

Prerequisites/Corequisites/AdvisoriesStudents are urged to study the description of courses in the college’s catalog to ensure that prerequisites are satisfied before registering for a course. Correct registration at an early date is important. A prerequisite is defined to mean a condition of enrollment that a student must meet in order to register in a course or program. A student may challenge any prerequisite by completing the Prerequisite/Corequisite Challenge Petition available in the Counseling Center. It is the student’s responsibility to be certain that he/she has met the necessary prerequisite(s) for any course he/she wishes to take. The student will be dropped from any class where it is verified that the necessary prerequisite has not been successfully passed. Prerequisites will be validated after final semester grades have been posted. It should be understood by the student that whether or not a prerequisite is specifically stated, the instructional staff of Fresno City College assumes that each student who enrolls in a transfer-level course possesses sufficient competencies in the areas of reading, writing and mathematics to be able to profit from instruction. A corequisite indicates that the course must be taken simultaneously with another course if not already completed. Advisory indicates that the institution recommends, but does not require certain course work be taken prior to enrolling in the described course.

Course Prerequisite/Corequisite ApprovalStudents planning to take an English course, a math course or a course with a prerequisite or corequisite (see this class schedule for individual course prerequisites/corequisites) must qualify for these courses. This can be done by fulfilling one of the following requirements:

Take the English/Math Placement Test Prior to RegisteringThere is no charge for the English or Math Placement Test. The test takes approximately three hours and is administered by the Assessment Center at Fresno City College, LI-146. Call the FCC Assessment Center hotline for test information at 559-442-8282

Furnish Other EvidenceStudents who do not take the English/math placement tests at Fresno City College may furnish other evidence that they have satisfied the prerequisites by submitting documentation (e.g., official grade report or transcript) which provides verification of satisfactory completion of college-level prerequisite courses. This evidence must be presented or available to a counselor at the time you seek written approval for these courses prior to registration.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

Address ChangeIt is the responsibility of the student to keep their college or center informed of his/her current address. Students can make address changes online at www.webadvisor.scccd.edu.

Class AttendanceA student who does not attend the first meeting of any class for which he/she has registered may be dropped from the class. It is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements with his/her instructor if the first class meeting is missed. Absences from class due to transportation delays, personal and business engagements, or to complete registration or program changes are considered unexcused absences. A student who is continuously absent for two weeks may be dropped by the instructor provided the absences occur prior to the final drop deadline. Students who show a pattern of absences which the instructor considers excessive may also be dropped prior to the final drop deadline provided the instructor has given students notice of this policy in the course syllabus. In accordance with the State Education Code and college policy, no student may be dropped after 50 percent of the class but must receive a letter grade other than a “W.” Students who intend to drop a class should do so themselves and not depend on the instructor to drop them for nonattendance. The college and its individual instructors assume no responsibility to change grades assigned to a student as a result of the student’s

failure to drop a class properly.
