REMINDER: Simply completing this departmental pre-registration process does NOT guarantee your spot in a biology class. YOU MUST STILL REGISTER!
Priority for enrollment in preferred courses is determined according to:
(1) requirements for majors
(2) seniors before juniors
(3) students previously denied enrollment
(4) Area (I, II, or III) requirements
(5) area of research interests
(6) enrollment in second biology course only as space is available (except BIOL 399)
(7) if all above criteria are equal among a group of students, assignments are made in the order the completed preregistration forms are received.
*** SENIORS -- You are responsible for knowing which Biology courses you need to graduate. ***
Check your Academic Progress Report or contact your Adviser to confirm what courses you need.
