Biology Major- HELP!

<p>Hello I am hoping any of you can shed some light on this for me.
I'm an incoming sophomore [transfer] and would like to declare a Biology major.
I am eligibly for Calculus this fall and was told by my advisor at Orientation to sign up for CHEM131/132. I go to sign up and it won't let me. They thought maybe because my transcript wasn't showing up in the system. Today, all the credits came through and I tried again and no luck. The Registrar then told me that I couldn't take BSCI106 or CHEM131/132 without completing Calculus (MATH130). HOWEVER, in the 4-year plan it suggests for one (in freshmen year) to take MATH130, BSCI106, CHEM131/CHEM132 all in the same semester. </p>

<p>IS THIS TRUE? OR have any of you been able to sign up for all three concurrently?</p>

<p>HELP!</p>

<p>It could be something along the lines of “Can be taken concurrently with permission from the department” but as I’m not a College Park student yet, hopefully someone else can be of some help.</p>

<p>Or perhaps the advisor that informed you to sign up for those classes can help you out.</p>

<p>Its just strange because that’s the order in which they suggest in their 4-year plans but the Registrar is like “No, you can’t take those courses until you take a Calculus.” How can that be when the 4 year plan says to take all three courses in the same semester and some students I have noticed have been able to sign up for all three! Its like the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing!</p>
