Below are explanations for the two warning flags that students encounter when attempting to register for BIOL 2401. Essentially, both flags indicate that the student must take the A&P I Assessment Test in order to obtain permission to register for BIOL 2401.
As an alternative, students can submit their unofficial transcript for review to obtain permission to register for BIOL 2401. Click this link for more details on how to use this alternative method: https://sites.austincc.edu/biology/transcript-review/
FLAG #1:
This first one is seen by students when they are in MyACC and have opened a specific course section to view the details of the course. The flag appears in “Requisites”
EXPLANATION:
This statement means that before taking BIOL 2401 the student must have completed high school biology AND demonstrated their competency in the subject by passing an exam administered by the ACC department.
In other words, students must demonstrate their proficiency in high school biology by passing the A&P I Assessment Test before they can register for this particular course.
NEXT STEP (chose ONE of the following options):
- Request a Proctor Exam (only if you are not in the ACC area)

FLAG #2:
This second one is seen by students AFTER they have added a section to their schedule as planned but BEFORE clicking the registration button. It also shows up after they have clicked the registration button if we have not granted them permission.
EXPLANATION:
This statement means that in order to register for the course with the code “BIOL-2401-050,” the student needs to get approval from the department offering the course.
The statement instructs the student to contact the department for approval before attempting to register for the course.
In other words, the student should seek clarification from the Biology department about the specific reason for the approval requirement and any steps they need to take to obtain the approval.
