This class has no scheduled meeting times. It will be conducted online, requiring students to have reliable and daily access to a computer and Internet service. Online science laboratory courses are generally accepted for the fulfillment of general education requirements by both two-year and four-year academic institutions. However, it is advisable for students pursuing certain programs within the sciences to undertake in-person laboratory sessions for their science courses, as online lab sessions may not be deemed sufficient. Please consult with your academic advisor and/or prospective transfer institutions to ensure the acceptability of online lab courses towards your degree program.
