Summary

The Department of Chemistry proposes to revise the major restriction on CHEM 1203, CHEM 1203L, CHEM 1204, and CHEM 1204L to reflect changes in the policies of majors that accept these courses as requirements and the new admission policy for pre-nursing majors. The proposed changes would exclude all majors from registering for this course except PNUF, PNUR and PNUT majors. CHEM 1203/1203L and CHEM 1204/1204L are required for pre-nursing majors only for admittance to the Nursing program. No other major requires these courses to meet degree requirements.
