If this course has a Prerequisite(s)/Corequisite(s) or Advisory Level(s), you must complete all of the following appropriate validation pages.
Prerequisite Validation
Prerequisite Validation: (If any of the items below is checked, the validation forms must be filled out.)

A . This course has a required course prerequisite within the same or related discipline, e.g., Accounting 1 for Accounting 2 or Electronics 1 for Laser 101. If you cannot check (1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) below, fill out 62A. Prerequisites from unrelated disciplines need statistical validation and are not to be used when proposing a course. Ask your district researcher about the process for establishing statistical validation.

B. This course has an audition or tryout or related requirement. If you cannot check (1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) below, fill out 62K.

C . This course has a required course prerequisite outside of the same or related discipline, such as English 1A for Western Civilization. Statistical evidence must be presented within two years to require this as a prerequisite. It is preferable to list the course as an advisory rather than a prerequisite. Consult your local researcher if you are interested in pursuing this option. If you cannot check (1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) below, fill out.

Note: One Prerequisite Validation Form is required for each prerequisite/corequisite to be validated; prerequisites linked by "or" statements may be grouped together on one page.



Check one of the following and complete the justification required.

(1) This prerequisite is required by law or government regulations (Title 5, §55201d3&cl). Work Experience and Supervised 200 labs would check this item. Justification: Cite the law or regulation.

(2) The health or safety of the students in this course requires this prerequisite (Title 5, §55201c4). Justification: Indicate how this is so.

(3) Any combination of "at least three of the campuses of the UC or CSU ...reflect in their catalogs that they offer the equivalent courses with the equivalent prerequisite(s) or corequisite(s)." Justification: Cite three CSU and/or UC courses, prerequisites, and catalog year.

(4) This course has no course prerequisite or reading or writing or math level.

(5) This is a lab course. The primary course will have the validation evidence.

Do not go on if you have checked any of the above numbers.

(6) If you did not check a number above, then check here indicating that you will demonstrate that the content of the proposed course as reflected in the course outline clearly builds upon and requires the content of the prerequisite. Choose one or more of the following pages to demonstrate the relevance of your prerequisite or advisory level.


[62A.] Course Prerequisite/Corequisite Within the Same or Related Discipline Validation Form:
If you completed items 14 or 15, you will need to fill out this page.
Any combination of "at least three of the campuses of the UC or CSU ...reflect in their catalogs that they offer the equivalent courses with the equivalent prerequisite(s) or corequisite(s)." Justification :
Institution Course(s) Prerequisite(s) Catalog Year
and/or information that is presupposed in terms of the course for which it is being established, such that a student who has Not met the prerequisite is highly unlikely to receive a satisfactory grade in the course, for which the prerequisite is being established; or the corequisite course will assure, that a student acquires the necessary skills, concepts, and/or information, such that a student who has Not enrolled in the corequisite is highly unlikely to receive a satisfactory grade in the course or program for which the corequisite is being established...."

Column 1
List the major concepts, skills, or kinds of knowledge that a student will learn in the prerequisite or corequisite course that are essential to the successful completion of this course.
Column 2
State why each of the listed items is essential in relationship to content listed in the course outline.

[62K.] Audition or Tryout



Check that the following statement is true:

YES For any certificate or associate degree requirement which can be met by taking this course, there is another course or courses which satisfy the same requirement. List the substitute courses(s) here:

[61L.] Required Course Prerequisite/Corequisite Outside the Same or Related Discipline Validation
• Course & Number Prerequisite Course & Number
• Course & Number Corequisite Course & Number
• You will need to demonstrate that the prerequisite will assure that ..."a student has the skills, concepts and/or
information that is presupposed in terms of the course for which it is being established, such that a student who has
not met the prerequisite is highly unlikely to receive a satisfactory grade in the course...for which the prerequisite is being established; or the corequisite course will assure...that a student acquires the necessary skills, concepts, and/or
information, such that a student who has not enrolled in the corequisite is highly unlikely to receive a satisfactory grade
in the course or program for which the corequisite is being established...."
• To demonstrate this, list in Column 1 major concepts, skills, or kinds of knowledge that a student will learn in the
prerequisite or corequisite course that are essential to the successful completion of this course. In Column 2, state
why each of the listed items is essential in relationship to content listed in the course outline.
• In addition, you will need to demonstrate within two years that there is statistical evidence that the prerequisite is
necessary for success in the course. See your local researcher for how to do this.

Column 1: Concepts, Skills, Kinds of
Knowledge
Column 2: Why the item in Column 1 is
essential for the successful completion
of this course.
