PREREQUISITES AND OVERRIDES
 
CH 331 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I
This course is offered online.  OSU Ecampus assists students with the selection of an approved examination proctor in their local community.
 
Since prior completion of one full year of general chemistry is an institutional/departmental requirement for enrollment in CH 331 the chemistry department asks that all prospective students, both degree-seeking and non-degree seeking students, provide documentation verifying completion of the course prerequisites.  The prerequisite waiver mechanism enables the department to accommodate students who have completed their general chemistry prerequisites at another institution.
 
How to apply for a prerequisite override for the Fall 2012 online offering of CH 331  (CRN 16513) Please email a copy of your undergraduate academic transcript(s) to Kim Thackray of the Chemistry Department's Ecampus support staff (Kim.Thackray@oregonstate.edu).  Unofficial transcripts are acceptable.  Transcripts will be reviewed in the order they are received.
 
CH 332 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II
This course is offered online.  OSU Ecampus assists students with the selection of an approved examination proctor in their local community.
 
Since prior completion of one full year of general chemistry and the equivalent of CH 331 are institutional/departmental requirements for enrollment in CH 332 the chemistry department asks that all prospective students, both degree-seeking and non-degree seeking students, provide documentation verifying completion of the course prerequisites.  The prerequisite waiver mechanism enables the department to accommodate students who have completed their prerequisites at another institution.
Registration for the Spring 2012 online offering of CH 332 is now closed.  We are therefore unable to process further registration inquiries.
 
How to apply for a prerequisite override for the Winter 2013 online offering of CH 332 Please check back in early November for instructions on when/how to apply for a prerequisite override.
 
CH 337 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY LABORATORY

Since prior completion of one full year of general chemistry and the equivalent of CH 331 and CH 332 are institutional/departmental requirements for enrollment in CH 337 the chemistry department asks that all prospective students, both degree-seeking and non-degree seeking students, provide documentation verifying completion of the course prerequisites.  The prerequisite waiver mechanism enables the department to accommodate students who have completed their prerequisites at another institution.
