| Special Notes
There are several changes to
required courses for some of the chemistry options that are offered in
other departments. See the updated checklists posted on the
chemistry advising web page for the most current changes and
substitutions.
CH 464/464H is the Fall term WIC. IT IS OPEN! Students needing one WIC chemistry course next year to graduate by June 2011 are strongly encouraged to enroll in CH 464 fall term because CH 462 winter and CH 463 spring are likely to be over-enrolled - don't wait if you can fit CH 464 in your schedule now. It meets MW from 1-4:50. Advanced Biochemistry option and Biochemistry option: BB 494 is scheduled to be taught winter term 2011 and BB 493 spring term 2011. BB 495 lab is no longer offered. If you are Advanced Biochemistry option, we are substituting BB 496 (1 cr) and BB 497 (1 cr) for additional lab experience. Please go to the BB main office in ALS 2011 to request an override for the BB labs. This mainly affects Forensic
Science option and Environmental Chemistry option: For Chemistry Education option: SED 412 and SED 413 are both scheduled to be taught only during winter term 2011. SED 409 is replaced by TCE 409. There are several updates to the Business
option. Please see the check list and additional information link
at the chemistry advising page. Chemistry majors can now earn a
minor in Business and Entrepreneurship.
The Global Issues course and the Science Technology and Society Course required to satisfy the Synthesis area of Bacc Core must be from two different departments. You could be denied graduation if you miss this point. All Chem majors have mailboxes in GILB 156 (room across the hall from the main chemistry office). Some of you have not picked up your mail. You are encouraged to subscribe to the chemistry major's listserv: go to the OSU listserv page at: http://lists.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/chmajors and make a request. |

2. PIN numbers
All undergraduates in science have been assigned a
new Personal
Identification Number (PIN) for next year. You are required to meet with
your chemistry
adviser
to get your new PIN in order to register.
The chemistry office can provide your adviser's name, schedule, and office hours. All B.S.
majors must declare an option before receiving a new PIN (Signup
for option).
Your adviser will expect you to bring your plan for next year with you to your
advising meeting before
giving you a PIN number (you might consider filling out the
checklist
for your option
from
the Departmental advising web page). Note that summer term is still on the previous PIN
(2010) .
3. Graduating Seniors
Audits are being processed now for seniors graduating
Spring term 2010. About the second week of May you should verify with your
advisor or Luanne in the main chemistry office that everything is in order.
Students planning to graduate Summer 10, F10 or W11 should submit an Application
for Bachelor's degree with the registrar to begin
the audit process
(one audit per term) see:
http://catalog.oregonstate.edu/ChapterDetail.aspx?key=6#Section54
Note: Carefully indicate on the form: (1) your degree (B.S. or B.A.); (2) your major (chemistry); (3) your option(s) if your degree is a B.S.
More information on graduation on the chemistry web page: (http://www.chemistry.oregonstate.edu/undergrad/advising/auditsandgraduation.htm).
Commencement
is Saturday, June 12th. http://oregonstate.edu/events/commencement/
The ceremony will begin at
10:30 am in Reser Stadium and will end at
approximately 1:20 pm. Line up for the processional begins in the MU
quad at 9 AM. (note this is a change from past years!)
Reception: The Chemistry department will host a complimentary light lunch for chemistry graduates & guests from 1:30-3:00 pm on Saturday June 12th after the official graduation ceremony in the lobby of Gilbert Addition. Please email Dr. Pastorek with the number of guests that you intend to bring.
PHOTO Please arrange to get your picture taken for the graduate picture board that is displayed in the hallway of Gilbert Hall. Complements of the Chemistry department, please make an appointment to get your photo taken at The Ball Studio located at 6th and Adams in Corvallis (541-753-5721; theballstudio@gmail.com).
Exit Poll. We encourage all graduating seniors to fill out and submit the exit poll (see link here) This information is used for planning purposes and also to support applications for teaching grants. And we would like to know how we are doing!
4.
Options
All B.S. students must
declare an option independent of
the graduation audit because correct advising (e.g., the courses you
take) depends on the chosen option. See the main chemistry office
and they will help you do this.
5. Declared Electives
For some options, the student must have elective courses
approved. For the advanced chemistry and advanced
biochemistry options of the BS degree or the B.A.
degree, majors are required to have
their career-supportive electives approved by their adviser
Fall
quarter of the junior year. For the business
option you must specify which business courses will be used
for upper division electives. For the chemical education
option, make sure you have met with your chemistry adviser and selected what
courses you intend to use to satisfy the 15 cr in a secondary endorsement area
as defined by one of the endorsement areas listed on the SED web page:
http://smed.science.oregonstate.edu/node/28
6. Research and Internships
To register for undergraduate research (CH 401) &
internships (CH 410), students must fill the
blanket number form available
at the following link or in the chemistry office. See directions for registering for
these courses at the bottom of the form web page.
7. Required Courses for the
Chemistry Options:
Check the updated Check List and Additional Info link for your option
at http://www.chemistry.oregonstate.edu/undergrad/curricula.html
for explanations, additions, and changes for requirements. For example:
PreMed Option: because PHL 444 is sometimes not scheduled, students should review the
list of substitute courses.
If you are working on the Chemistry Education option, SED 310 and SED 416 are no longer offered. We are substituting PSY 202 for SED 309. If you have already taken SED 309, this will count in place of SED 409 (these are both practicum courses). The replacement for SED 416 is to select one course from a list that will satisfy the chemistry requirement. The list is posted on the web at the additional information link: http://www.chemistry.oregonstate.edu/undergrad/advising/additionalinfochemeduc.html
