<p>I know that there are a lot of frosh who did not get into Chem 3AL and many people have been asking about how summer school works and how they can get into Chem 3AL, so I figure I should make a thread about both.</p>

<p>Here are few facts about summer session and Chem 3AL
-Summer session registration begins Feb. 2nd through TeleBEARS for UC students
-You DO NOT have a summer TeleBEARS appointment, you just log on anytime starting Feb. 2nd and do your business
--You probably want to do your registration on the first day
-Chem 3AL has two labs a week most weeks and one lab a week some weeks during the summer
-Chem 3AL is offered during session C (June 22-August 14)
-There are 13 different Chem 3AL lab sections in order to facilitate lab-only students
-- 3 Morning labs, 4 Afternoon labs, 6 Night labs (yes the chem dept. took a cue from the MCB Bio 1AL guys and are starting night labs)</p>

<p>Please clarify something for me. You mentioned that Summer session registration begins February 2nd. Is that at 12am or sometime later in the day?</p>

3

<p>they don't specify on the summer site</p>

4

<p>I don't think telebears is open for schedule changes at 12:00AM. Probably whenever telebears opens.</p>

<p>would it be weird to take just chem3al during the fall 2009? how related is 3al to 3a? also, can you take bio1a without taking 3al?</p>

<p>If you are just taking 3A this semester, I would suggest you take</p>

<p>Bio 1A/L and Chem 3AL in fall. That makes 7 units, so:</p>

<p>Bio 1A/L
Chem 3AL
8/+ units of breadth and other stuff</p>
