Priority enrollment

Seats in certain high-demand, major-based classes will be reserved for Chemistry and Biochemistry Learning Community residents. Your advisor will help you enroll in these courses. Visit Priority Enrollment to find out more about enrollment and advising.

Seats will be reserved in:

Fall semester:

  • CHM 151 - General Chemistry I: fundamental chemistry principles are presented at a level appropriate for pre-professional, science, and engineering majors. Students in the chemistry and biochemistry learning community will be enrolled in the same section of this course.
  • CHM 151L - General Chemistry I Lab: This co-requisite course (with CHM 151) introduces students to important lab practices and the analysis of chemical unknowns.

Spring Semester:

  • CHM 152 - General Chemistry II: This course is a continuation of CHM 151, in which fundamental chemistry principles are further investigated and presented. Students in the chemistry and biochemistry learning community can choose to be enrolled in the same section of this course.
  • CHM 152L - General Chemistry II Lab: this co-requisite course (with CHM 152) introduces students to further information such as analytical chemistry, thermochemistry, pH and buffers, chemical kinetics, and spectrophotometry.
