    Winter 2008 General Chemistry Lab Schedule:

    102.2:  TuTh 9:10am - 12:00noon (Oleson) 
   
CHM 103 (Spring 2008): MW 9:30-10:45am lecture

    103.2:  TuTh 9:05 - 11:55am (Oleson) 

NOTE:  If you did NOT pass CHM102 (with a "C" or better), you should probably NOT be enrolled in CHM103.  Chemistry courses taken out of order may NOT transfer, especially to U.C. schools.  Also, students who have not passed the prerequisite chemistry course almost always fail the next chemistry course at LTCC.   If you earned a "D" or "F" in CHM102, you should, most likely, drop this class; however, I will not make this decision for you, nor will I automatically dis-enroll you from CHM103.
