CHEM 2 Repeats

Students who previously failed and need to repeat CHEM 2 will not be able to do so until after all eligible students have had the opportunity to enroll. Repeat requests for these courses will be authorized after August 1, 2019.  We understand that these courses may be required as part of your major, however in an effort to support all students, we must give an opportunity to students who have not had the chance to register for this impacted course. We highly advise that you consider repeating these courses during the 2019 summer session.

In order to have your repeat for the desired course approved for Fall 2019, please complete the form to request repeat permission for CHEM 2.  You will be included on the list of students who need to repeat a course and you will be notified via email when your repeat request has been approved. Please note that submitting your request does not guarantee a seat in the requested course.  Submit the web form here.
