* 01:160:315,316 are accepted in place of 01:160:307,308.
**Students are permitted to take 220:200 OR 220:102:Micro AND 103:Macro separately, in any sequence. First course counts as humanities/social science elective or general elective. The second counts as 220:200 equivalent.
***01:160:309 is accepted in place of 01:160:311, and may be taken with 01:160:308.
****The official prerequisite (01:119:101,102:General Biology) is waived if 01:160:307,308 OR 01:160:315,316:Organic Chemistry has been completed. See Associate Dean of Academic Affairs for prerequisite override. Students may register for 11:680:390 OR 01:447:390. They are the same course offered by different departments on different campuses.
