Registration Forms

How to submit registration forms
Although you can pre-register online, you should submit registration electronically (email biology@qc.cuny.edu).

To add or drop courses, use the Department of Biology Registration form. If you are not sure how to complee it, see this instructional document.

Certain actions require the instructor’s permission, which you can obtain by submitting these completed forms to your instructor, who will then notify the Department Office if they approve your request.
Use the Prerequisite Waiver Request form to request permission to take a course even if you do not have the listed prerequisites.
Use the Overtally form to request permission to enroll in a course that is already filled to capacity. Note that this is only possible for lecture-only courses (not for courses with lab components).
Use the Registration Approval form if you need special permission to take a course.
Use the Undergraduate Research Registration form to register for undergraduate research for credit (BIO 390-396)—see Research Opportunities for more info. But only submit the form after your mentor approves the arrangement. Meaning, they must first decide on the course requirements, including how your work will be assessed (and should communicate that to you). Please note that the same registration deadlines apply when registering for research or tutorials as when registering for any other courses. Meaning, you can only register for these courses during the set registration periods.

For graduate students
Use the Graduate Research Registration form to register for graduate research or tutorial. It must first be signed by your research mentor (after they approve the arrangement). Your mentor will then send it to the Graduate Research Coordinator (David Lahti), who must also sign it and will forward it to the Departmental Staff.
