All L.A. Trade-Technical College courses are offered for college credit. All courses which are degree applicable and meet the major requirements of the educational programs listed in this catalog may be applied toward graduation requirements for the Associate Degree. Some courses are offered for college credit, but cannot be applied toward graduation requirements for the Associate Degree. Such courses are designated by the code NDA (non degree applicable). Grades earned in non-degree applicable (NDA) courses shall not be included in calculating students' degree applicable grade point averages

TRANSFERABILITY Courses acceptable for transfer credit at the University of California and at the California State Universities and Colleges are marked after the course unit value:

• UC - Courses so designated are acceptable for credit to all branches of the University of California.
• CSU - Courses so designated are acceptable for credit at all branches of the California State University.
• CAN - California Articulation Number - Identifies some of the transferable, lower division, introductory courses which will be accepted "in lieu" of the comparable CAN courses of another participating college. For specific course equivalent, see a counselor.

COURSE PREREQUISITES, COREQUISITES, ADVISORY INFORMATION Prerequisites are classes or skills a student should have prior to enrolling in the class. These suggestions are made by the faculty of that department because they feel that the prerequisites are necessary for successful completion of the course.

Corequisite/ Concurrent Enrollment is a faculty recommendation of a class that should be taken simultaneously with another class to maximize your success.

Recommended Preparation/Advisory is a faculty recommendation of courses or skills you are advised to have, but not required to meet before or in conjunction with enrollment in a class.

If you do not agree with the recommendations made by the faculty, you have the right to challenge the recommendations. Please contact your department chairperson for the challenge process procedures and form. Once a challenge form is submitted, your request and documentation will be reviewed by committee. You will be notified within five (5) working days of the final decision.
