Policies
1. Students considering a baccalaureate chemistry major should complete two semesters of general chemistry, CHEM 1110 and CHEM 1120, in the freshman year. Well-prepared students may be permitted to take CHEM 1130, an accelerated course in general chemistry, during their first semester. It is strongly recommended that chemistry majors complete requirements in mathematics and physics within the first two years.
2. Prior to enrollment in a chemistry course, all pre-requisite courses must be completed with a grade of C- or higher.
3. A student enrolled in a chemistry course during fall or spring semester and who wishes to enroll in the same course in the subsequent spring or fall semester should contact the department. The student will be allowed to register only if space remains after all advance registrations are completed.
4. A student cannot declare a Chemistry minor if they are pursuing any B.A. or B.S. major in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Two majors cannot be earned within the department except for the combination of the B.A. Chemistry Teaching major and either the B.S. Chemistry or the B.S. Biochemistry major.
