Restricted Courses

The KN 230 + KN 232 Waitlist is OPEN. 

Please read the information on the KN Waitlist page carefully! LAS Pre-Health Advising will no longer manage the KN 230/232 waitlist. The first overrides are expected to be processed in late-April.

In mid-February the College of Applied Health Sciences announced changes to the Anatomy & Physiology sequence at UIC.

New courses will replace KN 251. The change will allow students to take the lecture and lab separately if needed.

Previous Course: Lecture + Lab – KN 251 (5 credit hours)

New Courses: Lecture – KN 230 (3 credit hours) + Lab – KN 232 (2 credit hours)

KN 251 (5 credits of Lecture + Lab) = KN 230 (3 credits of Lecture) + KN 232 (2 credits of Lab)

Students in the College of Applied Health Sciences may register for KN 230 and KN 232 through the regular registration process when your time ticket opens. Please do not submit your name to the waitlist.

A grade of C or better in BIOS 110 and a minimum overall GPA 2.5 is still required to take KN 230/KN 232. Exception: A grade of CR in BIOS 110 will be accepted as having met the prerequisite in Spring 2020 only. A grade of C or higher is required in all other semesters.

The equivalent of KN 230 + KN 232 is also available at Chicago (and surrounding area) community colleges and credit can be counted toward the requirement for UIC’s nursing program. Use Transferology to determine your course options; you may need to look for a match to KN 251 for the summer and fall 2024 terms.

The KN 231 and KN 233 Waitlist is CLOSED. 

Please read the information on the KN Waitlist page carefully! LAS Pre-Health Advising will no longer manage the KN 231/233 waitlist.

In mid-February 2024 the College of Applied Health Sciences announced changes to the Anatomy & Physiology sequence at UIC.

New courses have replaced KN 252. The change will allow students to take the lecture and lab separately if needed.

Previous Course: Lecture + Lab – KN 252 (5 credit hours)

New Courses: Lecture – KN 231 (3 credit hours) + Lab – KN 233 (2 credit hours)

KN 252 (5 credits of Lecture + Lab) = KN 231 (3 credits of Lecture) + KN 233 (2 credits of Lab)

Students in the College of Applied Health Sciences may register for KN 231 and KN 233 through the regular registration process when your time ticket opens. Please do not submit your name to the waitlist.

KN 231 and KN 233 – Anatomy & Physiology Lecture II and Anatomy & Physiology Lab II – is only offered in the Spring semester at UIC. This waitlist is only intended for students who completed the equivalent of KN 230 and/or KN 232 at another institution or at UIC in a semester other than Fall 2024. Students who are enrolled in KN 230 in Fall 2024 will receive an override automatically and may register for KN 231 and KN 233 at any time once their time ticket opens.

A grade of C or better in BIOS 110 and a minimum overall GPA 2.5 is still required to take KN 231/KN 233. Exception: A grade of CR in BIOS 110 will be accepted as having met the prerequisite in Spring 2020 only. A grade of C or higher is required in all other semesters.

The equivalent of KN 231 + KN 233 is also available at Chicago (and surrounding area) community colleges and credit can be counted toward the requirement for UIC’s nursing program. Use Transferology to determine your course options; you may need to look for a match to KN 251 for the summer and fall 2024 terms.

For information regarding Kinesiology courses other than KN 251/252 please see the Applied Health Science website. You will need to scroll down to the page to access the “Courses other than KN 251/252” general waitlist and click on “Join the general waitlist.”

Students interested in completing KN 253 or KN 254 at UIC should submit their name to the general waitlist.

KN 253 and KN 254 are now being offered during Summer 2023 at UIC! Non-AHS students will need to request a seat using the general waitlist for kinesiology courses.

The Fall 2024 NUEL 250 permit request survey is now open. The last day to request a registration permit is August 23, 2024, at 8 a.m.  Please carefully read the information regarding the minimum GPA required and your anticipated BSN admission term.

The College of Nursing also accepts other courses that are comparable to NUEL 250, including PSCH 320 at UIC. The equivalent of NUEL 250 is also available at Chicago (and surrounding area) community colleges and credit can be counted toward the requirement for UIC’s nursing program. Please use Transferology to determine options that might work for you if that is your preference.

Pre-Health Information Management students should contact Arnita Bryant at bryanta@uic.edu in the IDS office for access to IDS 200.

In your email, include your name, UIN, and your status as a pre-health information management student in LAS. Don’t forget to include that you would like access to IDS 200.

The Fall 2024 override request form for BIOS 350 will open Monday, March 25, 2024 at 8:00am with a priority deadline of Friday, April 5 at 4pm. Students who sign up by the priority deadline will receive notification of their approval status between Monday, April 8 – Wednesday, April 10, 2024. Students should not contact the Department of Biological Sciences or the College of Liberal Arts and Science prior to April 11, 2024.

The request form will re-open on Monday, April 8, 2024 at 8am for those who did not make the priority deadline and will permanently close on Friday, April 19 at 4pm.

If you need help or have missed the deadlines, please email biosciadvising@uic.edu from your UIC email account with your name, UIN, and course request.

Additional information, including pre- and co-requisite requirements, is available on the Biological Sciences website.

Fall 2024 Registration: Students in the following majors may register for 300-400 level BIOS courses without overrides:

• Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, Bioengineering, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Neuroscience, and Physics.

Integrated Health Studies Majors: For any 300-400 level BIOS courses that apply toward the IHS major, please email your IHS advisor, Trisha Garcia, to request an override to register. For all other BIOS 300-400 level BIOS courses, you will be able to request an override on or after Thursday April 11, 2024. Students should email biosciadvising@uic.edu from their UIC email account with their name, UIN, and the course for which they need approval. Students will be notified of their approval within 1-2 business days.

All other students, including science minors and students who have declared any of the above listed majors (excluding IHS) during the Spring 2024 semester, are restricted from registering for all 300-400 level BIOS courses.

** Students who wish to register for 300-400 level BIOS courses (except for BIOS 350 – see other tab) will need departmental approval. Students may request approval to register for these courses beginning on April 11, 2024, which is the start of Continuing Registration. Students should not contact the Department of Biological Sciences prior to this date, as their requests will go unanswered.

• To request an override on or after April 11, 2024, students should email biosciadvising@uic.edu from their UIC email account with their name, UIN, and the course for which they need approval. Students will be notified of their approval within 1-2 business days.

**Non-degree seeking graduate students may request approval for any 300-400 level BIOS course once Open Registration begins on Monday, April 15, 2024. No approvals will be given prior to this date.

NOTE: Please contact the Chemistry department to register for BIOS/CHEM 452.
