Steps to clear prerequisites
A prerequisite is a course or qualification that must be completed before you may register for:
the next course in a sequence like English 1A for English 1B; or
a course requiring some expertise in a related subject, like algebra for chemistry; or
to enter a program, like Nursing or Dental Hygiene.
The Cabrillo equivalent of a minimum grade of "C" or "P" must be earned in the prerequisite course to satisfy the prerequisite. Clearing a prerequisite does not earn units toward your degree, it only allows your to register in the course with the prerequisite. You will see this notated as an "EQ" in your Student Planning Timeline.
