Registration Information For Spring 2012

 

Biochemistry I, BIOS/CHEM 452

Biochemistry I, BIOS/CHEM 452, is controlled by the Department of Chemistry. If you try to register for this course and encounter a "Departmental Approval Required" hold, you must contact the Department of Chemistry at (312) 996-3161 to request an override to register for the course.

Major Registration Restriction

Students in Physics, Teaching of Physics, Teaching of Chemistry, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Chemistry, Bioengineering, Biological Sciences, and Earth and Environmental Sciences majors may register for 300- and 400-level BIOS classes. All other students, including science minors and students who have recently declared any of the above listed majors, are restricted from registering for all 300-400 level BIOS courses.

Non-science majors who wish to register for 300- and 400-level BIOS courses (including pre-health students and non-LAS students), will need departmental approval. Students may request approval to register for these courses beginning on November 17, 2011. Do NOT contact the Biological Sciences department requesting an override prior to this date. To request an override, email your name, UIN, and the course for which you need approval to either Tricia Stark (tricia@uic.edu) or Vanessa Ricker (rickervk@uic.edu).

There are no restriction holds on 300-400 level BIOS courses during summer semester. So ANY student, regardless of major or college, may register for 300-400 level BIOS courses in summer semester without needing approval from the department. However, you must still have the prerequisites for the courses in which you plan to enroll - this is University policy.

BIOS 350 and 351 (Microbiology Lecture and Laboratory), Non-Science Majors and Non-LAS Students
