How to Register for BIOL 2401

Important Notes:

• Students must be granted departmental approval before registering for any stand-alone BIOL 2401 course.
• Completing BIOL 1308 or another non-majors biology course does not automatically qualify you for BIOL 2401. Students may submit their transcript if they have previously completed BIOL 2401 or other college-level biology coursework through the Transcript Review Request Form.
• Permission to register is valid for one academic year (three consecutive registration periods).
• The A&P I (BIOL 2401) Assessment Test will only be available in ACC Testing Centers during designated testing dates. Requests to take the A&P I Assessment Test, request proctoring, or submit transcript reviews will only be accepted within those testing windows.

BIOL 2401 is offered in two ways:

OPTION #1: Stand-Alone BIOL 2401 (Requires Permission)

This is the traditional stand-alone BIOL 2401 course that requires approval before registration.

OPTION #2: Paired BIOL 2401 & BIOL 1308 (No Assessment Required)

Students may enroll in a paired BIOL 2401 and BIOL 1308 section—no assessment required.

The BIOL 2401 and BIOL 1308 classes are paired together by the Biology Department (students do not mix and match their own BIOL 2401 and BIOL 1308 classes) and taught in an integrated manner, allowing students to take both courses simultaneously during a single semester and earn a unified grade for both.

** Please note if an instructor is not listed you will need to be patient and keep checking the online course schedule as we are still filling in those.

Students will not be allowed to only register for BIOL 2401 if it is a paired section.  No Exceptions.
