Q: I don’t know what courses to take for an upcoming term. Can you help me figure it out? And while we’re at it, can we plan the next few semesters? A: You can actually find out a lot on your own – here is how to start. First, you will want to refer to your degree audit in ONE.UF to see which courses you have remaining for graduation. You can use the Undergraduate Catalog to see a model semester plan for standard Chemistry track and for the Biochemistry track. You can click on the hotlinks in the plans to see course descriptions and prerequisites. Then go to the online schedule of courses and start working out your schedule. If you’ve checked all of these pages and still don’t know what to do, reach out to us and we will try to help.
