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.

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.

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  
 for the most up to date course information.
