Many students, especially those nearing graduation, may choose to continue in the old curriculum, which will be possible given that most courses will continue to be taught as before. However, some courses are planned to either change to a new format, inconsistent with study for a previous BIOL degree, or will no longer be taught at all. In either case, students who decide to continue in the old curriculum will be allowed to substitute current courses for their equivalent in the old curriculum.

• BIOL 100 will change to a course intended for non-majors in the pre-allied health tracks and BIOL 100L will no longer be taught. The vast majority of current students will have completed both of these courses. Those who have not completed either should seriously consider switching to the new curriculum. Those who have completed BIOL 100 but who have not yet completed BIOL 100L will have four more opportunities to take BIOL 100L (Summer 2010, Fall 2010, Spring 2011 and Summer (2011). After this time, the requirement for BIOL 100L can be satisfied by taking BIOL 300L.
• BIOL 301 is being phased out in its previous form and the content transferred to BIOL 142 starting in Spring 2011. Because in the old major many advanced students (Juniors and Seniors) had not taken BIOL 301, and are counting on its 3 Upper Level Credits for their graduation requirement, BIOL 301 will be offered three more times, in Summer 2010, Fall 2010 and Summer 2011. After Summer 2011, students must take BIOL 142 instead.
• BIOL 303L will also no longer be taught starting in Fall 2011. The course will be re-purposed as the new BIOL 300L (with some additional content and a slightly different focus). Students wishing to continue in the old major who have not completed BIOL 303L will be allowed to substitute BIOL 300L.

All other classes necessary for completion of the previous BIOL degrees will continue to be taught and so will not require any substitution.
