Easiest question first - You register just like you did at orientation, you log on, and plug in the CRN numbers of the courses you want (I recommend entering the ones with the fewest slots left first, clicking submit, and THEN going back to enter in the classes that you’ll be able to get in no problem.) And yeah, the times are 8 am and noon for a whole lot of days - starting with grad students all the way down to the students with the fewest credits.

Okay, as far as the psychbio major is concerned, don’t get scared off by all the courses. The core classes YOU NEED to take, and if you notice, most of them are pre med courses - ie chem, orgo chem, bio… the others are the intro psych courses.

The grey courses are ones that are lower level classes and don’t count toward the 20 credit upper level elective requirement. In other words, you’re better off taking the higher level course if it sounds interesting to you because you’ll fulfill two requirements. The courses with amperstands (&) are the lab courses (and orgo lab counts here since it’s a 300 level lab!) - you need three of those. And the * means you can’t use that course for elective AND core - there’s only a few classes where that would be relevant to you. It will all make more sense once you’ve registered once or twice. I know it sounds really overwhelming, but maybe talk to other psych/psychobio majors, or if you have any particular questions for me, to see if psychobio is right for you. Some people feel a biology major is more geared towards them, while others don’t want so many biology courses and go the psychology major route.

Any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
