Transfer students must work with their academic advisor to schedule their first semester courses and to make any modifications to those courses once enrolled. After a student’s first semester at Ohio State, students are able to add/drop courses without advisor assistance so long as the enrollment window has opened and the deadlines for dropping coursework have not passed.

Biology and Chemistry

This means if you plan to take Biology 1110, 1113.01, or 1113.02 and do not have previous Chemistry credit, you will need to enroll in both Biology 1110, 1113.01, or 1113.02 and Chemistry 1110 or 1210 in the same semester. You will not be able to take Biology without this previous credit or corequisite.
