Registration Tips for New Chemistry Students

Registration Tips for New Chemistry Students

  • Waitlists
  • Many of our classes, especially CHE 1V and CHE 2ABC, will fill up. Please look to see if other sections may work for you. Otherwise, we recommend that you add yourself to the waitlist of the class. Something to keep in mind is if a waitlisted class conflicts with another class you are registered for, you will be skipped over if the system goes to enroll you. Please double check your schedule to make sure there are no conflicts.
  • RO Sections
  • A number of our courses have "RO" sections, or repeater sections. These are specifically designed for students who have taken the course before and only need to repeat the lecture portion. If it's your first time taking the course, please do not enroll in any sections containing an "RO." These classes do not contain a lab and will put you at a disadvantage for future coursework.
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
  • Whether you are enrolled or waitlisted for a class, please attend lab with the proper personal protective equipment or you may not be allowed in the lab. This includes long socks, pants without holes, and lab goggles. Please be sure to use lab goggles that make contact all around with your face. Do not buy lab glasses. safety goggles and safety glasses
