Biology 252:
Fundamentals of Human Anatomy and Physiology

Because of the continuously high demand for this course among a variety of majors, the following information should be read by all considering enrolling in Biology 252 now or in the future.

An explanation of registration:

MANDATORY Labs meet once a week on:

·       MT at 9-11:50am,

·       MTWRF at 2-4:50pm, or

• Pharmacy (PHAR, PHRD)
• Nutrition (NUTR)
• Radiologic Science (RADI)
• Applied Science: Biomedical engineering (BMME)

Please consult the chart below to choose a lab time. 2 lab options are offered at each time slot:

If you do not register for a lab, you will be dropped from lecture for which you registered. This will be done on a periodic basis until the semester begins. There is one grade given for the combined lecture and laboratory course.

What if I can’t get in?

This course always fills up. Fast. We simply do not have enough lab seats to accommodate all interested students.

What are your options:

1. Wait list: the university registrar’s waitlist will now be used as in most other courses on campus. Additionally, all open seats in the restricted sections will become available to students with exceptional circumstances once the semester has begun.
    
2. Try next semester or in the summer
