Chemistry Department Prerequisite Checking Information 

 

CHEM& 121, Intro to Chemistry Basic chemistry to supplement/replace high school chemistry or for non-science majors. Mandatory two hour lab is taken concurrently. Previously CHEM 101. Prerequisite: MATH 099 with a 2.0 grade point or better, and placement into ENGL 100 or ESL 100 or instructor permission. 

 

CHEM 171, General Inorganic Chemistry I First course of three quarters of Gen. chem. for science and engineering majors. Course includes lecture and seminar. Previously CHEM 140. Prerequisite: Recent high school chemistry of CHEM& 121 with a 2.0 or better, and English 100, ESL 100 or placement into ENGL& 101, and placement into MATH& 141; or instructor permission.  

 

Math and English prerequisites are checked by the SCC database at the time of registration. You may also use COMPASS placement scores for placement and appropriate scores are recognized by the database. These prerequisite courses do not have a time limit. Thus, if you have taken these courses at SCC or are currently taking them or have appropriate COMPASS scores in our database, you will be able to register for the next level without needing further approval. 

 

If you have taken the prerequisite or COMPASS test at another school, that information may not be in Shoreline's database. Please send an official transcript or test scores to our Records Office so that the information can be entered into the SCC database. If registration for the next quarter is already happening, the quickest way to get registration access for CHEM 121 or 131 is to contact the Science Division academic advisor or one of the chemistry professors and show your transcript and/or test score:
