Class Schedule Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Curriculum and Scheduling Office

Q. How often is the class schedule published?

Ohlone publishes three class schedules a year—Summer/Fall, Fall, and Spring.

Q. When is the Class Schedule available?

The Summer/Fall Class Schedule is generally available in mid-April, the Fall Class Schedule is available in early July, and the Spring Class Schedule is generally available in early November. Classes also appear in WebAdvisor by clicking on Search for Sections.

Q. The printed Class Schedule has different information than WebAdvisor. Which is correct?

Since the printed Class Schedule is produced months before the semester begins, the online Class Schedule available through WebAdvisor always has the most up-to-date information. Information in WebAdvisor is updated immediately once the dean decides to make a change.

Q. Who decides which classes to teach?

Division deans, whose names are listed in back of the printed Class Schedule.

Q. What does “Advisory” mean for a class?

An "advisory" class is a class that a student is advised to complete before registering for another class. Registering for an advisory class is not required but is recommended, as mastery of the content in the advisory class will help the student succeed in the class.

Q. What does "Prerequisite" mean for a class?

A prerequisite is a class that a student must complete before registering for another class. The prerequisite class must be passed with a grade of A, B, C, or Pass. A student who has completed a prerequisite at a college besides Ohlone will need to meet with an Ohlone counselor before registering.

Q. What does "Corequisite" mean for a class?

A corequisite is a class that must be taken during the same semester as another class.

Q. Will this class transfer?

There are codes by the course description in the printed Class Schedule and Ohlone College Catalog which indicate transferability of each class. UC refers to University of California; CSU refers to California State University. If transferring to a private or out-of-state institution, work with a counselor and/or contact the institution for transfer information. Students may check UC and CSU course transferability online at www.assist.org.
