Please answer all of the questions. Use the TAB key to move to the next field. If you hit RETURN or ENTER you will prematurely submit the questionnaire.

1. At this time which laboratory course do you prefer to take?

BIOS 211

2. All students wishing to take BIOS 111 or 211 must take a pre-laboratory exam. If you have taken the exam any time previously then you need not take it again. The exam takes about 45 min. You will probably need a calculator.

The next pre-laboratory exams will be held during preregistration week. Sign up any time before then or during preregistration (step 2). We will set up an exam schedule later and notify you. After the exam we will notify you of your test result and explain your options and how to register, if applicable.
