Registration for lab courses BIOL 101/111 (Fall only) and BIOL 102/112 (Winter only) open on the dates indicated on the 91社区 Service Point web site (equivalent to the registrar鈥檚 office) at /servicepoint/.
No registration permits can be granted prior to those dates.

* Note: Please use your 91社区 email and include your 91社区 Student ID number when communicating with 91社区 staff *

Students needing to register for BIOL 101 and/or BIOL 102 (1 credit lab component only)
To request registration approval(s):

  • Please听annemarie.lheureux [at] mcgill.ca, with the course number.
  • Indicate听if听you have already completed, or will simultaneously be completing, the associated lecture component(s).
  • Please provide your 91社区 student ID number and your preferred听lab time.

If you need to register for a lab section that is full:
Your best chance to get your preferred lab time is to register for any of the lab sections still available.

  • On the first day of the term, use the course鈥檚 discussion board to post your preferred lab day.
  • When you find a student to switch with, use the QUICK ADD/DROP menu at the same time.
  • No lab switches will be听allowed after the first lab, which starts on the second week of the term.

If the course you need to register for is full:

  • Please email annemarie.lheureux [at] mcgill.ca, include听your 91社区 student ID number, your preferred lab day to fit your schedule, and the reason for needing the course this year.
  • If you still cannot find a spot using the above-stated instructions, come to the lab on the preferred day听that fits听your schedule.
  • Please wait outside room D6 of the Lyman Duff Medical Building, at least 15 minutes, before the start of the lab.
  • If a lab space is available, you might get a space for that lab day.
    You must still come to your registered lab day, even if it is scheduled earlier in the week, to avoid losing听your space in the course.

NOTE: Attending the first lab, starting on the second week of the semester, is compulsory,听to maintain your registration in the course. If you are not present, your space will be given to another student, also waiting for a spot and is present in the lab.

You will receive all the information you need about the labs, at the first lecture for the course and on the myCourses page, when it becomes available, at the start of the semester.
