Biology Registration Information

For Biology 6A, 6B, 6C, 26, 40A, 40B, 40C and 45!

Please note:  Biology classes with prerequisites are limited to 10 seats during the college priority registration.  Priority registration takes place before continuing student registration and is a college policy NOT a division policy.   The Biological, Health and Environmental Sciences division does not have a priority registration group. 

IMPORTANT:  Although the college registration system opens at 5:00 a.m. on the first day of continuing student registration, registration for the above classes will not be available at 5:00 a.m. on the first day of continuing student registration.  The Biology classes are opened manually between 7:30-8:00 a.m. on the first day of continuing student registration and remain open until class enrollment and wait lists are full.  If you are not able to enroll or add to a wait list, you may attend the first class session to see if there is space available.  In order to obtain an add code from the instructor, you must obtain proof of prerequisite clearance from the division office via an equivalency determination memo.

If you think you have equivalent course work from another college for any prerequisites, please bring a transcript (does not have to be official, can be a copy) for equivalency determination to the Biological, Health and Environmental Science Division office (KC228 in the Kirsch Center for Environmental Studies) prior to the start of registration!  Detailed course outlines and/or syllabi for coursework completed at private schools and out-of-state schools must be submitted with transcript(s).  Foreign transcripts must be evaluated from an outside evaluation service, De Anza College does not evaluate foreign transcripts.

For Students enrolled in or on the wait list for Biology 6A, 6B, 6C, 26, 40A, 40B, 40C and 45: Prerequisites for all enrolled and wait listed students are verified by the division office for these classes.  If prerequisites cannot be verified, you will be notified via email.  Please watch your email for messages regarding your enrollment.

A prerequisite in progress such as a Chemistry 50 or Biology 40A class will not preclude you from being accepted; however, if you do not pass the class with a grade of C or better you will be dropped from the course. The Biology 6A, 6C, 40A, 40B and 40C classes have a maximum enrollment capacity of 32 students. Biology 6B and Biology 26 have a maximum enrollment capacity of 28 students. Biology 45 has a maximum of 40 students.  The first 32 qualified students are enrolled for Biology 6A, 6C, 40A, 40B and 40C classes and the first 28 students for Biology 6B and Biology 26 and the first 40 students for Biology 45. Please bear in mind that this includes the 10 priority registration seats. 

REMINDER: Equivalency information for these classes MUST be submitted to the Biological, Health and Environmental Science Division office (KC228 in the Kirsch Center for Environmental Studies) prior to the start of registration!
