Undergraduate Information

Selecting courses, advising prior to registration, providing information regarding college and university requirements, transfer programs, and guiding students along the path to graduation and beyond are just a few of the services provided by the Biology Advising and Resource Center (BARC).   

All Biology  majors that have completed CHEM 1110/1111 should come to the BARC for advising, unless they have arranged for a faculty advisor.  Students that have not yet successfully passed CHEM 1110/1111 are generally seen by advisors in the ACC-Academic Advising Center.

All students should come to the BARC for general information on Biology Permits, Degree Requirements, and Career Information.
