Courses offered through the Lancaster campus are NOT open to ANY students on the UC or HH campuses and no exceptions can be made.  Also, the courses for nursing students that will be offered on the HH campus starting this fall (BIO 175/175L and BIO 185/185L) are ONLY open to entering students in the BS in Nursing program. Again, no exceptions can be made.

Note there are no waitlists for labs.  It may be that a seat opens up in a lecture (such as BIO 165), but only labs on certain days are open.  If the student gets a waitlist notification for lecture, they must register for an open lab seat.
• Direct all override requests (UC and HH campus courses) to the Chair - Dr. Mike McCann.  After May 17th, direct override requests to Dr. Jonathan Fingerut, who will be taking over as chair of Biology at that point.
