Clearance for Chemistry 141 can be accomplished by doing any of the following:
Completing the required prerequisite course (Chem 120 with a "C" or better) at Grossmont or Cuyamaca College.
Completing the Grossmont College chemistry department assessment available, by appointment, through the Assessment Office and Math 110 or equivalent with a "C" grade or higher.
If you have had a previous course in chemistry, such as high school chemistry or a course that is not equivalent to Chemistry 120 - Prep for General Chemistry, that you believe prepared you to take Chemistry 141 - General Chemistry I without first taking Chemistry 120 - Prep for General Chemistry, you may take an assessment exam to demonstrate your knowledge. If you do choose take the assessment be aware that you will be given only one opportunity to take the test so it is recommended that you take some time to review your chemistry before you attempt the assessment. In order to help you prepare, the chemistry department has developed a self-graded assessment called chemland to help you determine whether or not you are prepared to take the official assessment.
Completing, with a "C" or better, an equivalent prerequisite course at another institution; MUST also contact the Department Chair of Chemistry.
