A prerequisite is a course or condition that must be completed/met prior to enrollment in another specified course.
- For matriculated CSUN students, SOLAR determines if the student meets the prerequisite requirements.
- For Visiting and International Students, a Permission Number is required to register for courses with specified prerequisites.
How to Obtain a Permission Number:
All visiting students are required to obtain and use a permission number to enroll themselves in any course. To request a permission number, please complete the Open University Course Request Form for each individual desired course section. Submitting a request does not guarantee permission to enroll. Visiting students should submit a request as soon as possible to provide the department ample time to review the request and issue a permission prior to the start of the term.
Please note:
- Permission numbers can only be used once. Therefore, make sure to have your payment information handy at the time of registration, as you will only have 24 hours from the time of enrollment to pay for your courses, inclusive of evenings and weekends.
- Some permission numbers may expire on a certain date and should be used immediately upon receipt.
A list of department chairs can be found on the Contact Us page.
