SAC without completing the standard CHEM 10 or 40 requirements. Students may qualify through Advanced Placement (AP) Chemistry scores, high school chemistry coursework combined with advanced algebra or higher-level mathematics, or by passing the Chemistry Placement Exam. The document provides detailed requirements for each clearance option, including necessary documentation like unofficial transcripts and the Semester Prerequisite Override Form. Additionally, it details the structure of the 45-minute, 44-question placement exam required for direct enrollment in CHEM 50 and provides contact information for the Chemistry Department Chair to assist with further inquiries regarding the enrollment process and administrative procedures. The guidelines emphasize the academic background necessary to succeed in higher-level science courses and direct students to official counseling resources to facilitate a seamless transition into their chosen curriculum while ensuring all institutional prerequisites are met accurately and timely.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/chemistry-course-enrollment-prerequisite-clearance-and-placement-exam-guide/313887/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/chemistry-course-enrollment-prerequisite-clearance-and-placement-exam-guide/313887.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Aldword","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-02","2026-09-20",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":39},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What are the ways to bypass the CHEM 10 or 40 prerequisites for chemistry and biology courses?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"Students can be cleared by providing an AP Chemistry score of 3 or higher, or by showing two semesters of high school chemistry and two semesters of algebra-related math with at least a B- grade.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How long is the Chemistry Placement Exam and what score is needed to pass?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"The exam lasts 45 minutes and consists of 44 questions, requiring a minimum score of 24 to pass and receive enrollment clearance for CHEM 50.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What documentation is required to request a prerequisite override?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"You must submit an unofficial high school transcript and a completed Semester Prerequisite Override Form to the Counseling department.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},313887,1790307146,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":19,"category_name":20,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":39,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":8,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":81,"preview_page_count":4},2336478940917,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_6f874abed73319feea01a86fa6f0fab8","Ways to be cleared for:  \nCHEM 50/55, BIOL 4/BIOL 4H, MICR 1/22, ANAT 10B & ANAT 36*  \nwithout taking the prerequisite CHEM 10 or 40  \n*Strongly advised to complete CHEM 40 or CHEM 10 before enrolling in ANAT 36.  \nClearance options without having to take a chemistry placement exam  \nAdvanced Placement (AP) Chemistry test score of “3” or better (an unofficial transcript ora screenshot from the College Board website showing the student's name and score) or  \nTwo-semesters of high school chemistry with a \"B-\" or better grade in both semesters, or AP Chemistry class with a \"C\" or better grade in both semester (\"C-\" doesn't qualify) .  \nAlso need two semesters of algebra, algebra-related, or higher-level math course (e.g.  \npre-calculus or calculus) with a \"B-\" or better grade.
