Registration Guidelines for BIOL 101/111 and 102/112

Registration instructions for BIOL 111/101 (Fall only) and BIOL 112/102 (Winter only)

*Freshman lab courses BIOLÌý101/111 andÌý102/112Ìýwill open July 7 at 10 am. I cannot give your registration permits to register ahead of this date.
If you need to register toÌýBiol 101 and/or Biol 102,Ìýprior validation must be provided by your academic advisor; if you need aÌýspecial approval to register for Biol 111 and/or Biol 112,Ìýplease specify reason, emailÌýannemarie.lheureux [at] mcgill.caÌýwith your Ã山ǿ¼é student number and the lab days that fit in your schedule, in order of priority to avoid schedule conflicts.

If youÌýneed to register to a BIOL 111 and/or BIOL 112 lab section that is already fullÌý²¹²Ô»å/´Ç°ùÌýneed a lab day change due to a schedule conflict:

  1. Log on to Minerva often, to findÌýa spot made available by students switching out of their current lab for another lab section.
  2. If you find a spot made available for the needed lab day, useÌýthe QUICK ADD/DROP menu option:
    Step 1,Ìýdrop both the lecture and currently registered lab
    Step 2,Ìýre-register to the lecture and new lab section.
  3. If you cannot find a spot on your needed lab section as described above, register to any lab or keep your currently registered lab, even though it does not fit your schedule well.
    As of the first day of the term, you will be able to use the course’s discussion board onÌýmyCourses and send a request to try to find a student that can exchange their lab section with yours.
  4. When you find someone to switch lab with, using the QUICKÌýADD/DROP menu option,Ìýyou will have to simultaneously, first drop both the lecture and currently registered lab and then re-register to the lecture and new lab section.
  5. If you still cannot find a spot this way, come the needed lab day and wait outside room D6 of the Lyman Duff Medical Building, 15 minutes before the lab begins with a printout of theÌýemail,Ìýto validate your standing for a lab space for that day. This isÌýconditional that a space is available, you will get a space for that lab day. You still must come to your registered lab, if it happens to take place earlier in the week than your needed lab day, so you do not lose your space for the course.

Note:

  • Attendance to the first lab, starting on the second week of the semester is compulsory to maintain your registration to the courseÌýotherwise, your space will be given to someone else waiting for a spot and present at that time.
  • Students not showing up for the first lab will have their space offered to students waiting for a spot and present at that moment.
  • You will get all the information you need to know about the labs at the first lecture for the course. Please consult the course’sÌýmyCourses page, when it becomes available at the start of the semester.
  • For issues withÌýMinerva, you can contact theÌýÃ山ǿ¼é HelpdeskÌý²¹³ÙÌý/it/supportÌý´Ç°ùÌý514-398-3398.
