You must meet all course prerequisites by completing prerequisites at Cascadia, providing unofficial transcripts or test scores, or placement by assessment. Math assessments must be within the last 12 months. If you do not meet course prerequisites, you risk being administratively withdrawn from your classes. Prerequisites are noted in the quarterly schedule of classes and in the catalog at the end of each course description. 

If you are seeking a Degree or Certificate (matriculated): Once you have completed the admissions application, prerequisites may be satisfied sending official transcripts from all colleges previously attended, and complete a transcript evaluation request form available at the Kodiak Corner main counter or on the website.  You may also be required to take Cascadia’s placement assessment to determine skill level in reading, writing, and mathematics.  Students who have successfully completed college-level English are exempt from placement testing, as are students who have successfully completed college-level mathematics within the last 12 months.  Transcripts documenting college-level English and/or mathematics are required for registration.

If you are interested in selected courses, but not a Degree or Certificate (non-matriculated): Students must demonstrate that they have met course prerequisites for any given course they wish to enroll in.  Non-matriculated students can demonstrate that they have met the course prerequisites by providing college transcripts, or by having taken the placement test either at Cascadia or at another college within the past year.  Non-matriculated students who can show that a prerequisite requirement was satisfied, must present the Prerequisite Petition form to the Dean for Student Learning.  The Dean for Student Learning will process the form and render a decision.
