Biology FAQs

No, at LAVC we offer the combination of a lab and lecture as one section.

You should go to whichever part is scheduled first.

You will need to take your transcripts to the Counseling Department for them to determine equivalence. It would be wise to do this even with prerequisites taken within the LACCD colleges, but at another college besides LAVC.

There is a Prerequisite/Co-requisite Challenge Form you may submit to the Biology Department Chair. Fill it out the form, attach a copy of your unofficial transcripts from LAVC and/or your other college, as well as a Course Outline from the catalog year you took the course of the class you want considered as the prerequisite. Bring all materials to the Biology Department in AHS 200. For more information, call (818) 947-2514, or click here.
