Bio FAQ
Feel free to send us any questions you might have as a bio major and we will post the questions and answers here. You can send questions either by email (to bsc.uci@gmail.com) or via the "Contact Us" box on Home!
Where can I find sample schedules for my major?
You can find them on the UCI catalogue, which is updated every year. There should be a schedule for each major (including the "specialized" bio majors like neurobio, genetics, etc.). For a direct link, check the "Academics" page under "Student Resources."
When is the last day to add or drop a class?
The last day to add or to drop a class is generally the Friday of Week 2 of each quarter. If you want to add a class and are on the waitlist, it is recommended to attend the lecture anyways so you don't fall behind.
Where can I find information about Bio199 research?
You can find it on the UCI School of Biological Sciences website! For the direct link, check the "Academics" page under "Student Resources." Generally, you'll need to contact a professor (or more) you want to work with, either by email or in-person, so look early! There are other research programs you can apply for that will enroll you in bio 199 without this step, such as EMRAP or MICURAP.
What are some things to look out for enrollement?
We are constantly working to improve our offerings and expand upon our technological capabilities. Our expert team of professionals is passionate about developing the most advanced tech on the market. Ready to experience the future? Get in touch.
Should I purchase textbooks when the Hill posts them, or should I wait until the first day of class?
This is a tricky one. It's normally best to wait until the syllabus is posted on your class website (you can find the website on websoc.reg.uci.edu or eee.uci.edu). Professors will describe any required materials there. They'll also mention it on the first day of lecture, but by then most used or discounted books may be snatched up. On the other hand, don't buy textbooks too early. Bio classes have been known to switch textbooks from quarter to quarter, and you wouldn't want to end up paying for something you aren't going to use.
