Courses numbered 200-299 are second-year or sophomore-level courses. Courses numbered below 100 are preparatory, general studies or refresher courses and do not count toward graduation requirements. Credit may not be earned beyond the number of hours indicated.
Credit is awarded as semester credits. The number of hours earned for completion of each course is indicated with the course description in the catalog. To ensure that the credits earned are applicable to a specific degree or certificate program, check with an academic advisor.
Registration for more than 18 semester credits during fall and spring semesters and nine semester credits during the summer must be approved by an academic advisor.

Students may take as many as eight hours of 491 and 493 together as electives, but these will not fulfill the 400-level course requirements. For graduation, all specializations require 26 hours in biology beyond the introductory level (BIOL 150, 151, 220).
The GPA in the major is based on all biological sciences courses attempted. Any student who receives four grades of D, F, or WF in biology courses numbered 220 or lower is no longer permitted to enroll in biology classes for credit toward a biology major.
Students may be dropped from the biology major for any of the following reasons: GPA of 1.0 or below in any term. Cumulative GPA of lower than 2.0 in the major at any time.
Students are informed in writing of advisement procedures and assigned an academic advisor at the time of declaration. Students are required by the University to consult an advisor prior to registration each term. Enrollment in biology major courses above 151 requires approval of a biology advisor.
