It is the policy of ý that, unless specifically exempted by statute, every course supported by state funds shall be open to enrollment by any person who has been admitted to the college; except that students may be required to meet prerequisites established pursuant to Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations (Section 58106).

Each class has a closing number which depends upon its special nature and/or the physical limitations of the facilities. Whenever pre-enrollment in such a class reaches this number the class is designated “closed.” Admission to the college does not guarantee space in any class. See Registration procedures.
