Prerequisites
Registration

Prerequisites

A prerequisite is a course or condition that must be completed/met prior to enrollment in another specified course.

  • For former CSUN students, SOLAR determines if the student meets the prerequisite requirements.
  • Visiting students are required to obtain a permission number to register for classes, regardless of if there is a prerequisite.

Permission Numbers

All Open University students are required to obtain and use a permission number to enroll themselves in any course. To receive a permission number, Open University students should review the class notes of the course for any department specific process and then complete this Open University Course Request Submission Form. Open university students may attend the first class meeting of the course they wish to add to revisit their request for a permission number from the instructor. Online course pages will be available via Canvas on the Public Course Index.
