BIOL 701 - (3) (Y)
CELL PHYSIOLOGY
Prerequisite: BIOL 501
Cell structure and function, metabolism, membranes and transport, cellular specializations.
Explanation of example
BIOL 701 -- course mnemonic (see glossary) and number. Variations include GREE 701-702 where two semesters of a course must be completed to obtain credit toward a degree or GFPT 703, 704 where credit may be obtained by taking either semester or both.
(3) -- number of credits which will be earned upon successful completion of the course. Where courses are numbered 701-702 or 703, 704 the number of credits represents the number of credits for each section of the courses, e.g., three credits for 701 and three credits for 702.
(Y) - code for frequency with which the course is offered. Variations are:
CELL PHYSIOLOGY -- course title.
S offered fall and spring semesters Y offered at least once every academic year (fall or spring semesters) E offered every other year, in the academic years when the fall semester occurs in an even year (e.g., 1996-97) O offered every other year, in academic years when the fall semester occurs in an odd year (e.g., 1995-96). SI offered upon sufficient student interest IR offered irregularly SS offered during summer session
Prerequisite: BIOL 501. Prerequisites are courses or conditions that must be successfully completed or met prior to enrollment in the course described. Prerequisites separated by a comma, as above, indicate a series of prerequisites, all of which are required. Variations include BIOL 501 or 503 where either course, but not both, must be taken prior to enrollment in the described course. An exception occurs when or precedes the last entry in a series, in which case the commas indicate or throughout (for example BIOL 501, 503 or equivalent). Corequisite means that concurrent enrollment in the course or courses designated and the course or courses described is required.
Cell structure and function, metabolism, membranes and transport, cellular specializations. -- course description.
An asterisk (*) following the code for frequency of course offering indicates that the course is pending approval of the faculty.
Please note that not all courses listed in the Record are taught each semester.
