Planning your courses for the next semester?

Check Time Ticket Make an Appointment Run Degree Audit Course Explorer 

  • Look up your time ticket as soon as they are released (Typically around Oct 15th for Spring & March 15th for Fall). The time ticket indicates the first time a student can register for the term.
  • Make an advising appointment early so that you can get in to see an advisor before your time ticket opens for registration and you are prepared to register as soon as you can. 
  • Run your DARs (Degree Audit Report) to check what requirements you have left.
  • Start looking at your course options on course explorer to fulfill last remaining requirements.
  • Plan on getting involved in research (IB 390 & IB 490)? Please refer to the research page for additional information.

Errors & Restrictions

Please refer to the document linked below to understand common restrictions and errors found during registration. Each department is responsible for their own course restrictions, IB cannot help you with restrictions in MCB, CHEM, PHYS, etc. If you are encountering errors or restrictions please do the following steps first:

  • First refer to the "Section Info" on Course Explorer for the section you are trying to add. If there are restrictions they are usually outlined there.
  • Make sure to read all of the instructions outlined in the description of the course in Course Explorer as many errors can be resolved by referring to the description and the instructions outlined there. 
  • If you are getting errors and you have already done the steps outlined above and you believe you should still be able to register for the course please contact advising for the department that the course is housed. 
    • ex. IB 270 Restriction: Contact IB Advising, MCB 150 Restriction: Contact MCB Advising

Restrictions & Errors 

Change Credit Hours for Research Courses

Variable credit classes will default to the lowest possible number of hours when you first register for the class. To change your credit hours for IB 390 or IB 490 you will go back into UIUC Self-Service website you use to register for courses. Credit hours can be updated on the Schedule and Options tab of the Register for Classes section of Enhanced Registration. The Hours value is underlined if it is a variable credit hour section. Click the underlined number listed to adjust the credit hour value.

Merit Courses (MATH, CHEM, IB, & MCB)

Merit-style teaching consists of using a highly trained facilitator-instructor to stimulate student-student interactions by providing challenging problem sets or other activities for the students. The facilitator provides feedback as the students work together in small groups, and also encourages everyone in the group to interact and discuss each student’s strategies.

Merit options are available for Math, Chemistry, Integrative Biology, Molecular and Cellular Biology intro and second year core courses.

Careers & Professional Schools

We have created a handy list to highlight just some of the career fields & professional schools our alumni have gone on to pursue: 

IB Careers & Professional Schools

IB Careers Website

This site will provide you with a variety of career options with all different levels of education, whether you want to start your career right out of undergrad or after you have attended graduate school, received your PhD, or went to a professional school. 

IB Careers

Considering Pre-Health Professions?

The IB Pre-Health site is a great resource to see how your course schedule might look for the four years in IB as well as additional information about getting involved and preparing for professional school. 

Pre-Health in IB

Looking for personalized one-on-one advising on career options? Consider making a Career Connections appointment!

Career Connections is our in house career counseling service with specific insight and specialized resources just for you as an IB student. Take advantage of this service and get connected with an alumni mentor who is currently in your field.

Pre-Health Professions in IB

IB majors are highly competitive in gaining admission to professional schools, including medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, nursing, and pharmacy. After this additional schooling, jobs are numerous and bring a comfortable salary. While you can gain admission to a professional school via a wide variety of majors, many students choose to major in Integrative Biology because our courses prepare students well for the necessary admissions test (i.e. MCAT, DAT, GRE) and also provide a solid foundation for the demands of future schooling. Most pre-health requirements are either required for the IB major or can be used as advanced IB courses. Therefore, very little course work outside the IB major is needed to fulfill the prerequisites for health programs.

Will my Course Transfer back to UIUC? (Using Transferology)

If you plan on taking a course outside of UIUC you can use the Transferology website. Transferology is a website that will let you look to see how a course you take at a different institution might transfer back to UIUC or other institutions. Please use the attached PDF Transferology tutorial to check your courses. 

You can search multiple courses and Transferology will tell you what each course comes back to UIUC as specifically. Some of the common courses take are: 

  • MATH 220 or MATH 221 (Calculus)
  • PHYS 101 & PHYS 102 (Physics 1 & 2) 
  • OR PHYS 211 & 212 (Calculus Based Physics 1 & 2) – Mostly for IBH
  • SOC 100 (Intro to Sociology)
  • PSYC 100 (Intro to Psychology) 

You can also take CHEM 232 (Orgo 1) or CHEM 233 (Orgo 1 Lab) but it is sometimes harder to find and might not be a wise course to take somewhere else if you plan to take additional advanced CHEM courses or MCB 450 (Biochemistry).

Examples of Typical Semester Course Sequences by Career Goal

Integrative Biology offers a strong foundation of biology, chemistry, physics, physiology, genetics, and more, making it a great options when it comes to a wide variety of biology related career fields. The general IB curriculum and advanced elective course requirement will cover most graduate school requirements if planning to go into the fields of environmental conservation, research, ecology, and beyond. Please review the general plans above. 

Below we have a few sample course sequences for some specific medical professional careers as well as Secondary Education. These sample sequences were created to highlight the general additional requirements for admissions to each specific professional school and to give a general timeline to get there.

Keep in mind that there are other variables that may change your academic plan such as minors, double majors, major changes, or being a transfer student. If you fall into that category please consult your academic advisor and consider making a multi-semester plan. Additionally, be aware that it is the responsibility of the student to double check all professional school requirements for the schools they plan to attend, as some schools have additional requirements not outlined on the plan.

Ready to Make a Plan?

If you would like to create a multi-semester plan for your IB or IBH degree you can download the blank fillable documents and create a draft plan to go over with an academic advisor at your next appointment. 

Working with your academic advisor to look over your multi-semester plan is imperative to make sure you have completed all requirements and are doing so based off of class offerings in any given semester. Certain classes are only offered in certain semesterly cycles and must be taken in sequence. Always check Course Explorer
