During the registration period, students must select discussion/lab sections simultaneously with the corresponding lectures. Each section may have limited capacity, so it’s important students register early to secure a spot.
Not all courses have discussion or laboratory sections. Each course listing indicates whether it has an associated discussion or lab section.
Discussion Sections
Discussion sections are designed to complement lectures by providing an opportunity for students to engage in dialogue about the material covered in class.
Students can choose from various time slots offered for each discussion section. It’s crucial to select a time that does not conflict with other classes or commitments.
Laboratory Sections
Lab sections are integral for courses that require hands-on experience, particularly in fields like biology, chemistry, and physics. These sessions often involve experiments or practical applications of theoretical knowledge learned in lectures. Some labs may require safety training sessions pior to enrollment due to the nature of the work involved (e.g., handling chemicals). Students should ensure they complete any necessary training before attending labs.
Similar to discussions, lab sections will have specific time slots available for registration.
