This is your Curriculum Sheet & Curriculum Year The University has transitioned from Quarter to Semester in Fall 2018. You may be referred as a “Semester Student” by advisors.

There are courses that can count for the required courses as well as the GE requirements. You can find a course list on cal polys course catalog website.

You must complete each of these sections You must complete each of these sections. Make sure to read these rules and requirements.

Emphases What are they? Please make sure you start with 2000-level courses and move up accordingly. If you are continuing school after undergrad, check the requirements for the program you wish to pursue. There is no need to declare your Emphasis. Any course in the list will count toward electives.

What does “class standing” mean What does “class standing” mean? Class standing will determine your registration priority https://www.cpp.edu/~registrar/registration/index.shtml#undergrad

University Catalog everything you need to know about your degree, courses, and policies Important to see co-reqs, pre-reqs, and GE areas some classes can fulfill. https://catalog.cpp.edu/

Should I take a minor? Students in the Biological Sciences Department cannot take minors offered by the same department.  Students can only declare minors offered by the other departments or the University.  You can find the minor programs by searching the University Catalog.  Here is a list of some popular minor programs for the students in Biological Sciences Department.  Physiology Minor Environmental Specialist Minor Chemistry Minor Biophysics Minor Food Safety Minor, Food and Nutrition Minor, Food Science Technology Minor Material Engineering Minor Please consult the faculty in charge of the minor program for questions and the procedure to add the minor. https://www.cpp.edu/~sci/biological-sciences/students/Declare_FAQ.shtml

CHM 1210 - General Chemistry I (3) Many lab sections to choose from CHM 1210 - General Chemistry I (3) Prerequisite(s): C or better in MAT 12, 105, 106, 112, 114, 115, 116, 120, 125, 130, 191, 214, 216, 224, MAT 1050, MAT 1052, MAT 1060, MAT 1140, MAT 1150, MAT 1200, MAT 1250, MAT 1300, MAT 1310, MAT 1910, MAT 2140, MAT 2240, MAT 2250, STA 120, or STA 1200; or C- or better in CHM 121 and CHM 121L. Co-requisite(s): CHM 1210L. According to Chemistry Department, they will accept the following pre-requisites listed under CHM 121 (quarter equivalent course). If you do have the required SAT/ACT score and have not taken any MAT course in Fall, please bring your proof to CHM department for permission codes for CHM 1210/L. CHM 121 Prerequisite(s): Within the last 3 quarters, achieved a minimum placement score on appropriate MDPT; or within last 18 months, earned 550 or above on the (old) SAT I or II, or earned 570 or above on the new SAT, or 23 or higher on the ACT; or minimum grade of C in MAT 12  ,MAT 105 , MAT 106 , MAT 112 , MAT 114 , MAT 115 , MAT 116 , MAT 120 , MAT 125 , MAT 130 , MAT 191  or STA 120 .

Math and Physics MATH courses you may need to take before Calculus, Biostatistics, Physics, and Chemistry courses MAT 1050 College Algebra This course is a pre-requisite for pretty much every 1000-level MAT and STA courses. If you do not have an AP credit or a ALEKS passing score, you need to take it. MAT 1060 Trigonometry As of now, this course is required for PHY 1210/L or MAT 1140 (if you want to take the one year calculus). If you do not have AP credits or a ALEKS passing score, you need to take it. Please see the NEW development below regarding this course. Examples: MAT 1050 (≥C) or ALEKS  MAT 1200 Calculus for Life Sciences MAT 1050 AND MAT 1060 (≥C); OR ALEKS  MAT 1140 Calculus I MAT 1050 OR MAT 1060 (≥C) OR ALEKS  STA 1300 Biostatistics MAT 1060, MAT 1140, new MAT 1200 (≥C-), OR ALEKS  PHY 1210/L Physics I (Motion, Fluids, and Heat) New! Starting F2020, MAT 1200 will include trigonometry! This change will allow the “new MAT 1200” to be used as the pre-requisite for PHY 1210/L. If you take the new MAT 1200, you no longer need to take MAT 1060. Here is the tentative timeline to roll out the new MAT 1200: (MAT 1050)  new MAT 1200 [starting Fall 2020]  PHY 1210/L [new MAT 1200 as pre-requisite; starting Spring 2021] ] or Please always verify pre-requisites in the University Catalog
