4.   What are Prerequisites?

A prerequisite is a course requirement that must be completed prior to enrolling in another course.  If you have not completed the prerequisite course at Napa Valley College, you must do one of the following:

• Enroll in the prerequisite course or take the appropriate assessment test.
• If you have completed an equivalent prerequisite course in high school, bring proof of completion (unofficial copy of academic transcript, or copy of an academic report card) to the Admissions and Records Office before registering.  You will complete a Requisite Equivalency Verification Petition at that time.
• If you have not met the prerequisite but wish to challenge it, you may complete and submit a Prerequisite Challenge form with the Counseling Office.

5.   Fees

• If you are taking the class for college credit, the enrollment fee is $26 per unit plus additional fees for accident insurance, student representation, and student health services.
• If you are taking the class for high school credit, the total enrollment fee is $ 1.00 plus the Student Health Fee (based on number of units taken).
