Important Information Regarding General Biology (119:115,116, 117) Registration!

We are very sorry that scheduling for the spring semester has been challenging for some students in General Biology 115.  We understand how stressful not being able to register in the courses you wish to take can be and again we apologize.  Please know that we are working as quickly as we can to resolve the issues.   It will take us a little time, but we are committed to ensuring that all students who are currently in GB I (119:115) who meet the requirements for GB II (119:116) and wish to take the class in the spring will have a seat.   We appreciate your understanding, flexibility and patience as we work to open seats in the class.

For those of you interested in also taking the Bio Research Laboratory (119:117) please note that the lab was designed with the expectation that about half of the class would take it in the spring and a half next fall.  This was done to prioritize student success.  For example, we would not encourage students to take more than one lab the same semester (e.g. bio and chem lab).  If you know that one or more of the classes you are planning for the spring is likely to be time consuming, it would be to your advantage to wait to take the lab.   Please be assured that taking the lab in the fall will not deleteriously impact your ability to complete your degree in 4 year (e.g. the “traditional” course plan for the Biological Sciences major has 119:117 in the fall:  https://biology.rutgers.edu/academics/undergraduate/major-in-biological-sciences?view=article&id=434&catid=2).   We strongly encourage you to meet with an advisor for your intended major to discuss your course schedule and how to best prioritize your success.
