Spring '10 Note to IB Majors:

There are several changes on this version of IB's Courses List. Most are dictated by University budget reductions. We shall strive to preserve seating in IB Upper Div courses for our declared students, in order that their graduation dates remain on track. However, some actions on STUDENTS' parts will be key to our shared success - please enroll carefully, drop any undesired courses PROMPTLY, and participate fully in your enrollments. We expect that "switching" courses or disc/lab section will be difficult to accomplish in this reduced resource environment.

Courses Acceptable for Lecture / Lab or Lecture / Lab / Field Requirements

NOTE: You must read the "Note" section in Schedule of Classes for the info whether lec/lab MUST be taken together, or if can be pursued separately. Some labs have fewer seats than lecture, and are thus NOT required to be taken concurrently. (Examples: IB 117/L, 131/L, 132/L) A course from this list "counts" for Lec/Lab only if pertinent LAB is completed by time of graduation.
