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 BIOL听101/111 and听102/112听will open July 7 at 10 am. I cannot give your registration permits to register ahead of this date.
If you need to register to听Biol 101 and/or Biol 102,听prior validation must be provided by your academic advisor; if you need a听special approval to register for Biol 111 and/or Biol 112,听please specify reason, email听annemarie.lheureux [at] mcgill.ca听with your 海角社区 student number and the lab days that fit in your schedule, in order of priority to avoid schedule conflicts.

If you听need to register to a BIOL 111 and/or BIOL 112 lab section that is already full听补苍诲/辞谤听need a lab day change due to a schedule conflict:

  1. Log on to Minerva often, to find听a 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, use听the QUICK ADD/DROP menu option:
    Step 1,听drop both the lecture and currently registered lab
    Step 2,听re-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鈥檚 discussion board on听myCourses 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 QUICK听ADD/DROP menu option,听you 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 the听email,听to validate your standing for a lab space for that day. This is听conditional 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 course听otherwise, 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鈥檚听myCourses page, when it becomes available at the start of the semester.
  • For issues with听Minerva, you can contact the听海角社区 Helpdesk听补迟听/it/support听辞谤听514-398-3398.
