Registering for Bios 211
During pre-registration week (or orientation week)If this is not the week of pre-registration, do not use these instructions.
You will not need to go to the instructor's office for a signature. After you sign up on the course web site your name will appear on a list sent to the Registrar's Office. If you sign up over the summer, during Orientation Week, or over the end of year break, please wait until the first lecture, first day of classes, for instructions on how to complete registration (see below). After pre-registration week
Space in Bios 211 is limited. We cannot take additional students once we reach the enrollment cap. To reduce the risk of being "bumped" from the course, please try to keep as many afternoons open as possible. InstructorsThe course instructors are listed below. We are both in the Department of Biochemistry & Cell Biology. Office hours are described in the section on Policies. To meet with the instructor it would be best to check the posted hours or set up a meeting by e-mail.

Schedule changes and conflictsSwitching sections is strongly discouraged. If a change is absolutely necessary, a section assignment can be changed before the course starts or during the first week, depending on availability. To change a laboratory assignment -
A very short semester, course conflicts, large enrollments, and other constraints on time and resources tend to compromise what is intended to be a meaningful learning experience. Please do not make it harder by making travel plans that take you out of an assigned laboratory session (or letting someone else make them for you). If an unavoidable conflict crops up, inform the instructor immediately. Bios 211 is offered each semester. If you know that you will miss a laboratory session for an interview, family event, early start on vacation, etc., then please postpone taking the course. Prospective Biosciences majorsThere are two biosciences departments, namely Biochemistry and Cell Biology (BCB) and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB). BCB focuses on cell and molecular biology and related areas. EEB focuses on the biology of populations, environments, and ecosystems. Both departments offer a B.A. in biological sciences. If you declare a major in biological sciences, please sign up with the department that best represents your interests. BCB also offers a B.A. in biochemistry & cell biology and a B.S. in biochemistry & cell biology, while EEB offers a B.S. in ecology & evolutionary biology. There is no "biology" major nor is there a"biochemistry" major. See Advising and Program Information (Rice access only) for more details on major fields, advisors, and a list of laboratory courses.
