Registration Information for Summer and Fall 2009
BIOS 490 (Topics in Ecology and Evolution): Tropical Diversity – 3 credit hours
This course will explore the factors affecting evolution and maintenance of tropical biodiversity. It will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2-3:15pm.
Prerequisites: BIOS 230 or BIOS 331 recommended, or consent of the instructor
Professor: Henry Howe
BIOS 286 (Biology of the Brain) – 3 credit hours
This course has traditionally been offered in Spring semesters, but is being offered this Fall. It is likely that this course will not be offered for Spring 2010. So, if you were planning on taking this course during the 2009-2010 academic year, then register for BIOS 286 in Fall 09 semester.
This course is a survey of basic neurobiology, brain structure, chemistry, development and control of behavior. Prerequisites: BIOS 100 and BIOS 101.
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 for information. The Department of Biological Sciences will not be able to tell you why the hold
exists or be able to override it for you.
Major Registration Restriction
Students in Physics, Teaching of Physics, Teaching of Chemistry, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Chemistry, Bioengineering, Biological Sciences, and Earth & Environmental Sciences majors may register for 300- and 400-level BIOS classes. Biological Sciences minors and students who have recently declared the above majors are also restricted from the classes. All students wishing to take these classes, who need an override (including pre-health students not in one of the above majors), will need departmental approval - send an email to Tricia Stark (tricia@uic.edu) or Vanessa Ricker (rickervk@uic.edu) on or after April 15th. Any emails sent before this date will not be reviewed for approval until April 15th. Please include your name, UIN, the courses you wish to register for, and the term.
Microbiology (BIOS 350 and 351) Waitlists
Many students desire to take Microbiology and its accompanying lab (BIOS 350, 351), often for pre-professional program pre-requisites. At this time, BIOS 350 and 351 are restricted courses. The following majors are eligible to register without assistance for these courses and any other 300-400 level science courses: Physics, Teaching of Physics, Teaching of Chemistry, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Chemistry, Bioengineering, Biological Sciences, and Earth & Environmental Sciences.
If your declared major is not listed above or you are undeclared, in order to request permission to take BIOS 350 and/or 351 you must sign up on the waitlist. You should have a pre-health educational goal (i.e. Pre-Nursing) listed in the UI-Integrate system as well. This waitlist will be available on November 3rd, the first day of advanced registration, and a link to the waitlist will be provided here at that time. All students will be reviewed for pre-requisites and a GPA of at least a 2.5 or higher (priority given to higher GPA’s). Review of students will begin on November 24th and students receiving permission will be emailed on Wednesday, November 26th. Please do not inquire about your status with the Biological Science department or LAS Pre-Health advisors. Students will be notified by email of their status.
