Lab Information

There are special regulations, procedures, and deadlines for our lab courses. If you will be taking any of our lab courses, please read the following for important information:

ADD/DROP DEADLINE FOR CHEMISTRY LABORATORY COURSES
The deadline to add, or to drop a CHEM lab course without a "W", is the end of the second lab meeting.

ATTENDANCE AT THE FIRST LAB MEETING IS MANDATORY
Check the individual class schedules for first-day information. Students who miss the first 30 minutes of the first lab meeting of the quarter will be administratively dropped from the course. Come prepared to work: bring textbook, lab notebook, lab coat, closed shoes, and goggles.

LABORATORY SAFETY REQUIREMENT
All students in CHEM 7L, 100A, 143AH, and 143A are required to demonstrate an understanding of general lab safety and of the UCSD Undergraduate Chemistry Lab Rules. Passing the Lab Safety Exam fulfills this requirement: students who do not pass the Lab Safety Exam may be administratively dropped from the course with a grade of "W", if applicable. Please refer to the notes at the beginning of the Chemistry and Biochemistry section regarding "W" grades or see http://senate.ucsd.edu/manual/Regulations/Part1/500. htm. Lab Safety Training is a self-study program for students in the Teaching Labs. Each student is responsible for learning the materials presented. Information on general lab practices and our specific rules can be found on the web at: http://www-chem.ucsd.edu/academic/courses_labs.cfm.
