Registering for classes at SLCC is a "first-come-first-served" service so it would be unfair to students who are already waiting for their transcript evaluations to let someone skip the line. Thus, all students must have their transcripts submitted and evaluated by Enrollment Services before the Biology Department will evaluate any mistakes or omissions in the transcripts. The only exception to this rule is once it is the week before the semester starts, when the department can look at transcripts that are submitted but not yet evaluated.

No. The content and knowledge gained in BIOL 1610/1615 is necessary to be successful in upper-level biology classes.

In most cases no. The Biology Department will review transcripts in this regard but only after transcripts have been evaluated by Enrollment Services.

Yes, both BIOL 1610/1615 (or its equivalent) and either CHEM 1110 or CHEM 1210 (or it's equivalent) are pre-requisites for BIOL 2420/2425.

For certain biology courses you do not need to repeat the lab if you earned a C or above in the lab class. This applies to BIOL 1615, BIOL 1625, BIOL 2065 and BIOL 2425.

If you do not have a previous grade for the lab you will have to take the lab with the lecture. For certain biology courses you can take the lecture only, if you have previously earned a grade C or above in the lab class, either at SLCC or in another institution. This applies to BIOL 1615, BIOL 1625, BIOL 2065 and BIOL 2425.

Yes, for certain lab classes the Biology Department does offer students in this situation the option of taking the lab only, but only if they passed the lecture portion with a grade C or above. This applies to BIOL 1615, BIOL 1625, BIOL 2065 and BIOL 2425.

Most biology classes have co-requisite labs and the wait list function does not work with these types of courses. Students must watch registration closely and add the class as soon as an available spot opens up.

Only students can register for classes during open registration. Faculty do not have the ability to add any student to their class during open registration. However; students are encouraged to see the instructor the first day of classes to find out when they will be dropping students for "non-attendance." Students will then need to watch registration very closely for openings in the class.

The class you are trying to register for will probably not be opened unless additional funding becomes available. You may want to watch the class to see if it becomes available. Do not wait until the last minute to register for another class, as the closed class will probably not be opened.

No you cannot test out of 1610.
