Some prerequisites have more than one component, such as CSIS 26 (Math plus C++)
Course descriptions for the year in which completed the course.

AP test score of 3 or higher

You will need to submit both your completed prerequisite verification form and an AP Test Score from the College Board*

Assessment/Placement Exam

You will need to submit both your completed prerequisite verification form and an assessment/placement report from another institution ( within 2 year period)*

Prerequisite Challenge Option

If you cannot use any of the above but feel you have satisfied the prerequisite for a course, submit a Prerequisite Challenge Form to Mellanie De Leon in Admissions & Records at mdeleon@gavilan.edu
