Although high school chemistry is not formally required, it is assumed that students enrolling in CHEM 1307 have completed a high school level chemistry course. 

If you are planning to take CHEM 1307 without any high school chemistry, it is highly recommended that you first take CHEM 1301 (Introductory Chemistry) to improve your chances of success in 1307. 

CHEM 1305 and 1306 do not require high school chemistry. 

There are a few reasons why you may receive an error message during the registration process: 

• Have you taken the Chemistry Placement Exam? This is required for ALL students wishing to enroll in CHEM 1307.

• Are you trying to register for section 001? This section is restricted to chemistry, or biochemistry majors, and those in the chemical engineering program.  

In order to receive transfer credit, students must first submit official copies of their final transcripts from all previously attended colleges/universities to the Transfer Evaluation Office . The Transfer Evaluation Office determines acceptable transfer credit in consultation with our advisors and faculty. We strongly encourage students to meet with their academic advisor to discuss course transferability. 

AP credit for our chemistry courses can be earned through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), a credit-by-examination program that allows students to earn college credits. For minimum score requirements and information on courses for which credit can be earned, please click here. 

Be aware that certain post-undergraduate professional degree programs may not honor AP credits. We recommend confirming your specific requirements with your academic advisor.
