Physiology 335 and 435 Registration
Physiology 435 and 335 are very similar courses, and therefore students should not take both. Generally, Physio 435 is offered in Spring terms and Physio 335 is offered Fall, Spring, and Summer terms. It is also important to note that while both Physiology 435 and 335 count as I/A breadth category B lab courses for the Biology major, only Physiology 435 can be used to count for the CALS capstone requirement.
Physiology 435 is prioritized for Biology majors Biology majors have priority over students in other majors. Enrollment happens at your assigned enrollment time, and the course typically fills with students with senior standing. Students will be able to join the waitlist after the course fills. There is not typically a lot of movement on the waitlist.
Physiology 335 is prioritized for Pre-Nursing and Kinesiology students. During the initial enrollment period only priority students are authorized to enroll for this course and there is no waitlist option for the course. A waitlist for non-priority students (such as Biology Majors) will open at 12:00pm on December 6, and interested students should join the waitlist at that time. There are typically seats in Phys 335 after priority students enroll, so students can get into the course via the waitlist.
Students outside of Kinesiology and Pre-Nursing are eligible to be placed on a priority list through the Center for Pre-Health Advising if they:
• are a graduating senior
• need the course as a required prerequisite for a professional health program (PA, PT, OT, Dental, Pharmacy, or Accelerated Nursing BSN)
• have a cumulative gpa of a 3.0 or higher
Students who meet these criteria and would like to be considered for the priority list should email dija.selimi@wisc.edu by October 27th at 4:30 pm. The email should include your:
• full name
• Net ID (wisc email)
• campus ID #
• professional health interest
• graduation year
• when you are applying to professional health programs
Please note that these guidelines have been established by the Department of Neuroscience, and the Center for Pre-Health Advising cannot make exceptions to these criteria. Due to high levels of interest in Physiology 335, placement on the priority list is not a guarantee of enrollment for Spring 2018.
