The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has created a site that allow us to notify you through your FSU e-mail account if we open additional seats in certain courses. Currently this site is open for BCH3023C, CHM 1045, CHM 1045L, CHM 1046, CHM 1046L, CHM 2200L, CHM 2210, CHM 2211, CHM 2211L, CHM 4130L, CHM 4410, CHM 4410L, CHM 4411 and CHM 4411L. Click here to go to that site if you want to register to receive updates about one of these courses. Registering your interest in a course on this site also helps us to assess demand for these courses, but please note that it is not a waiting list and will not be used for that purpose.
Specific course announcements:
As of 2:00 PM on Thursday, July 17, 2008, additional seats will be available in CHM 1045, CHM 1045 L, CHM 1046 and CHM 1046L. If you still need one of these courses after the seats are added today, please use the Latest Course Info. form (mentioned above) so that demand for these courses can be assessed to determine if additional sections may need to be opened. If any additional seats or sections are opened, an email will be sent to those who have provided an valid email address using the form described above.
We have added a second lecture of Organic Chemistry II (CHM 2211) for Summer 2008, meeting MWF 11:00a to 12:05p. There are open seats in all of these sections (11-16), so if you need this course please register online as you would for any other open course section. If you wish to take one of the original sections (01-06) in order to continue with your current 2210 instructor, please go to 208 HTL and add your name to the list of students who want this course. We will be adding students from this list as space becomes available; however, these sections are filled, and we do not anticipate being able to add many more students to this lecture. Therefore, we encourage you to register for one of the later sections (11-16) while waiting to see if you can be added to one of the earlier sections (01-06).
=====
We are looking into the possibility of offering a second section of Honors Organic I, but we will not know if that is possible until early summer. If we cannot add a second section, we will increase the cap for the current section from 30 to 40, and distribute these seats by the fairest possible mechanism. Please watch our website for updates on this course, plus we will send a message to the Honors Program for them to distribute to the appropriate students.
=====
Students not able to register for Organic Chemistry Laboratory, CHM 2200L or CHM 2211L, should go to the fifth floor of HTL at 1:30 pm on the first day of class (Monday, August 27) to try to add the lab.
=====
Registration for Biochemistry I (BCH 4053) is now restricted to Biochemistry majors because we want to make sure students are signing up for the right course. Besides the BCH 4053 and BCH 4054 sequence required for our Biochemistry majors, we offer two other biochemistry courses:
Survey of Biochemistry (BCH 3023C), taken by many students working towards a major in the College of Human Sciences; and Human Biochemistry (CHM 3930), a four credit hour course that satisfies the biochemistry requirement for medical schools.
If you need a biochemistry course to meet the requirements for your major or admission to professional school, please check with your advisor to see if you should be taking one of these other courses. If you still wish to take BCH 4053 and meet the pre/co-reqs, then go to 208 HTL to be added to the course.
