Just looked in detail at the new 2013 SEAS Orientation Package pdf and noticed the section regarding getting a chemistry lab exemption that was in the 2012 package has been removed from the 2013 file.

From the 2013 file:

*NO laboratory credit is given

Other types of advanced standing are awarded by the University in subjects such as foreign language, history, government, etc., including some IB credit; see the Undergraduate Record for full details.



From the 2012 file:

NO laboratory credit is given
* Professor Robert Burnett in Chemistry Dept. Rm. 404 will review high school lab notebooks for chemistry lab exemption. Upon approval, students are exempt from taking lab but will not receive one hour credit. Students exempt from chemistry lab will need to make up this technical hour before graduation.

Other types of advanced standing are awarded by the University in subjects such as foreign language, history, government, etc., including some IB credit; see the Undergraduate Record for full details.



So it looks like this option has been removed for 2013? I have a call in to try to find out a definitive answer. Does anyone else know if this is the case?
