CHEMISTRY (CHEM)

Separate lecture and laboratory sections--Although
the laboratory and lecture sections of CHEM 1111,
1112, 1203, 1204, 1251, 1252, 2131 and 2132 are
taught as separate courses, it is strongly
recommended that students take the appropriate
laboratory concurrently with the lecture. Students
with severe scheduling problems or students with
course programs that do not require the laboratory
may take the lecture without the laboratory.
Students who withdraw from a lecture course will
automatically be withdrawn from the corresponding
laboratory. A student wishing to withdraw from CHEM
1251/1252/2131 lecture but retain the co-requisite
lab may be allowed to do so if the following
conditions are met: (1) the student must make a
formal written request to the lecture instructor on
the “Request to Retain Corequisite Chemistry
Laboratory Form” no later than seven calendar days
before the deadline to withdraw from a course with a
“W” grade; and (2) the lecture instructor must
determine that the student has actively participated
in the course up to the due date for submitting such
a request. Decisions will be made during the week
prior to the deadline for withdrawing from a class.
The decision of the instructor is final. Students
using CHEM 1111 and 1112 or CHEM 1203 and 1204 or
CHEM 1251 and 1252 to satisfy the General Education
requirements for the B.A. and B.S. degree must also
take the appropriate associated laboratory courses
(i.e., CHEM 1111L, CHEM 1203L, or CHEM1251L). |
