Biol 2233 Lecture & Lab Guidance (A-F)

A. Co-requisite/ Pre-requisite overrides  |   B. Unable to register   |  C. Biology faculty/instructors/staff CANNOT add students to Lecture or Lab  | D. Switching/Swapping lab sections  |   E. Grades  |  F. Repeating Principles of Microbiology 

A. Co-requisite/ Pre-requisite overrides:
  • Co-requisite Required - The course you are trying to enroll in has a co-course requirement.  You must concurrently enroll in both courses at the same time.  Find the CRN for both courses (BIOL 2233 & 2233L) and enter both CRNs into the worksheet before submitting. You must register for both lecture and lab simultaneously.
  • Overrides will NOT be granted for Biol 2233 (lecture) OR 2233L (lab). Biol 2233 and Biol 2233L must be taken during the same semester even when retaking the course (see section F).
  • Once you have added yourself to the wait-lists for lecture and lab, you will need to wait until you have received automatically generated ISU email notifications (one for lecture and one for lab) telling you that you can register.
B. Unable to register for Biol 2233/Biol 2233L:
  • The class is full.
  • Please follow these directions:
    1. Add yourself to the wait-list. Instructions for wait-listing can be found at: Office of the Registrar > Class Registration Info.
    2. Wait for an automatically generated email notification (sent to your ISU email account) telling you that you can register.
    3. Check your detailed class schedule in MyISU, Registration Landing page for your position on the wait-list.
  • If you are unable to add yourself to the wait-list it means that the wait-list is full. Check MyISU daily to see if you can add yourself to the wait-list.
C.
Biology faculty/instructors/staff CANNOT add students to Lecture or Lab:
  • This means that we cannot put you into a lecture or lab section or register for you in any way.
  • Your name must reach the top of the lecture and lab wait-lists before you will be allowed to register.
  • Please check your ISU email for an automatically generated ISU email notification telling you that you can register once you have added yourself to the wait-list.
  • Enrollment numbers cannot be increased for any lecture or lab sections including the online lecture.
D.
Switching/Swapping lab sections:
  • Biology faculty/instructors/staff CANNOT help a student switch/swap sections.
  • Drop the section for which you are registered and add another section that fits your schedule. If you are on the wait-list for a different section of a class you are already registered for, you must drop the other section before you can add the new section. For more information please visit: Office of the Registrar > Class Registration Info > Add/Drop/Swap Courses.
  • Remember you need to add and drop at the same time or you will be dis-enrolled from lab AND lecture.
E. Grades:
  • Biol 2233 (lecture) and 2233L (lab) must be taken for the first time during the same semester. 
  • Biol 2233 is a three-credit lecture course for which a letter grade will be awarded.
  • Biol 2233L is a separate one-credit lab course for which a letter grade will be awarded.  
  • If you earn lower than a 60% AND you have missed 30% or more of the semester in either 2233 or 2233L, you will receive an X grade.
F. Repeating Principles of Microbiology:
  • Biol 2233 and Biol 2233L must be taken for the first time during the same semester after which you can retake lecture or lab separately.
  • You can register for lecture or lab separately after your grades have been finalized by the Office of the Registrar at 5:00 pm on the Tuesday after the last day of classes.
  • If you have completed a course for which either 2233 or 2233L is a prerequisite, Principles of Microbiology lecture and lab CANNOT be repeated.
