Courses & Labs

General Laboratory Information

Lectures and labs are separate courses. Students will get 3 credits and a grade for the lecture. If enrolled in a lab, students will get 1 credit and a separate grade for the lab. Labs are not necessarily required (check with your major advisor).

The first lab of the semester is the second Tuesday of the semester.

• Fall semester: When the semester begins on a Monday, the first Tuesday lab is 8 days later.
• Spring semester: When the semester begins on a Wednesday, the first Tuesday lab is 13 days later. For Thursday Labs this is 15 days later.
• Summer semester: Ask your instructor about the lab schedule; 14 total lab days are required (counting makeup).
