Update for Fall Courses

Our department has put considerable effort into finding the right combination of best teaching practices and best public health practices, to maintain the quality and rigor of educational experiences while also mitigating risk of transmission. We are grateful to have you as students and we are committed to your success and to providing a valuable academic experience this year. In general, lectures, discussion sections, and lab sections will be in person except for a few courses that we have historically offered in an online version.    

Update on grading options for Winter 2020 and beyond.

The Department of Human Physiology recognized the challenges and stress added to our students over the course of the pandemic. We want to ensure these additional challenges do not delay progress towards an undergraduate degree. For 2020 winter, spring, and summer terms, the department waived the requirement that all courses used to satisfy the major must be taken for a letter grade (P or C- grades were accepted). Moving forward, for all courses taken Fall 2020 and later, a C- or better will be required to satisfy the major and prerequisite requirements.
