Pre-Registration Information: Fall & Spring terms
- The Biology Pre-Registration Information Session for majors, prospective majors, and students interested in taking Biology courses takes place each term shortly before pre-registration begins. Students can join Biology faculty in a group setting to discuss major requirements and course offerings.

- Contact information for department faculty can be found using the Faculty & Staff link.
