Catalog Copy

The following policy will be added to the Chemistry program description in the Undergraduate Catalog:

Students may attempt CHEM 1251, 1251L, 1252, 1252L, 2131, 2131L, 2132, and 2132L a total of three times each. Withdrawing from the course after the Add/Drop deadline constitutes an attempt as does receiving any letter grade.

In addition, the policy will be added to the course description of each of the courses affected:

CHEM 1251. Principles of Chemistry I. (3) A principles-oriented course for science majors. Fundamental postulates and laws of chemistry; the relationship of atomic structure to physical and chemical properties of the elements. Three lecture hours and one Problem Session hour per week. (Students may attempt CHEM 1251 a total of three times. Withdrawing from the course after the Add/Drop deadline constitutes an attempt as does receiving any letter grade. Credit will be given for only one course: 1111, 1203, or 1251.) (Fall, Spring, Summer) (Evenings)

CHEM 1251L. Principles of Chemistry Laboratory I. (1) Prerequisite or corequisite: CHEM 1251. Experimental investigations involving the fundamental postulates and laws of chemistry. One three-hour laboratory per week. (Students may attempt CHEM 1251L a total of three times. Withdrawing from the course after the Add/Drop deadline constitutes an attempt as does receiving any letter grade. Credit will be given for only one course: 1111L, 1203L, or 1251L.) (Fall, Spring, Summer) (Evenings)

CHEM 1252. Principles of Chemistry II. (3) Prerequisite: CHEM 1251 with a grade of C or better. Continuation of CHEM 1251. Three lecture hours and one Problem Session hour per week. (Students may attempt CHEM 1252 a total of three times. Withdrawing from the course after the Add/Drop deadline constitutes an attempt as does receiving any letter grade. Credit will be given for only one course: 1112, 1204, or 1252.) (Fall, Spring, Summer) (Evenings)

CHEM 1252L. Principles of Chemistry Laboratory II. (1) Prerequisites: CHEM 1251 and 1251L. Prerequisite or corequisite: CHEM 1252. Continuation of CHEM 1251L. One three-hour laboratory per week. (Students may attempt CHEM 1252L a total of three times. Withdrawing from the course after the Add/Drop deadline constitutes an attempt as does receiving any letter grade. Credit will be given for only one course: 1112L, 1204L, or 1252L.) (Fall, Spring, Summer) (Evenings)

CHEM 2131. Organic Chemistry I. (3) Prerequisite: CHEM 1251 and 1252, each with a grade of C or better. Descriptive principles and techniques of organic chemistry and their applications to reactions of aliphatic and aromatic compounds and natural products. (Students may attempt CHEM 2131 a total of three times. Withdrawing from the course after the Add/Drop deadline constitutes an attempt as does receiving any letter grade.) (Fall, Spring, Summer)
