CLS PERMISSION NUMBERS 

  1. Every student has a unique Enrollment Date and Time. You can check your specific day and time by looking at the right side of your Student Center under “Enrollment Dates” (I have attached a guide). Do not take any action until you know the day you can register.
  1. On your enrollment date/time, send Angel Valdez (avaldez62@csudh.edu) an email with the following information:
    • Full Name:
    • Student ID #:
    • Class Standing (e.g., Sophomore, Junior, Senior, PostBacc):
    • CLS Course(s) and section number(s) (e.g., CLS 301-02):
    • Have we discussed the course(s) you are requesting?: (Yes/No/Other)

*You can include all CLS Permission # requests in the same email*

  1. In 1-3 business days, you will receive a Permission # from Angel Valdez. If 3 business days exceed, respond to the initial email request. Use the permission number(s) to enroll immediately as your seat is not reserved, and you can lose your spot. A permission number will not bypass a waitlist if a class is full; you will simply be put onto the waitlist.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO AVOID

  • Do not take any action until you know the day you can enroll
  • Do not send multiple emails as this will delay your request
  • Do not delay your request as courses can fill up quickly
  • If you email before your enrollment opens, your request will be denied. i.e., I will skip your request if you send it at 8:59 am when your time is at 9:00 am; to avoid this, I recommend setting up a scheduled email for your date/time
  • I do not give out Biology and Chemistry course permission numbers (refer to the guide attached);if you cannot enroll into the courses, you must email biology@csudh.edu for BIO courses and class instructors for CHE courses. If instructors are TBA, they will be announced by the day enrollment begins.

1-YEAR BIOLOGY WAITLISTS

ELIGIBLITY FOR EACH WAITLIST

Note: BIO 458/459 and BIO 425/435 are not requirements for Cytotechnology students. Cytotechnology students can take BIO 326/327 in place of BIO 324/325. This class does NOT have a waitlist and is only offered in the Fall semester.

BIO 458/459 Waitlist: Students who have completed (or are currently enrolled in) BIO 120/121/122/123 are eligible.

BIO 324/325 Waitlist: Students who have completed (or are currently enrolled in) Organic Chemistry andBIO 120/121/122/123 are eligible.

BIO 425/435 Waitlist: Automatically considered upon completion of BIO 324/325.

DIRECTIONS Send one email to biology@csudh.edu with the following template beginning Week #6 of Fall semester: 

Hello Biology Department, I am requesting to get onto the *course(s) here* waitlist. Here is my information below:

  1. Full Name
  2. Student ID #
  3. Class Standing (Ex: Junior, Senior, etc.)
  4. Major
  5. Proof of Prerequisites
    1. Attach copy or screenshot of unofficial transcripts with visible name and college if you are currently enrolled or have not been credited in the system for prerequisites, Organic Chemistry or BIO 120/121/122/123

Thank you.

You will receive a response by the last day of the semester. You only need to get onto the waitlists once. The Biology Department will update you on your status once per semester. It is not a race; your position is given based off the number of requirements you have remaining.

ALL OF THESE COURSES MUST BE TAKEN AT CSUDH. Exceptions may apply for PostBacc students.
