NOTE:  If you are enrolled in CHM 101 but have not completed CHM114 (the "pre-req"), the administration will probably drop you from CHM101.  To remain in CHM101, you will need to complete a Prequisite Appeal Petition (available in the counseling office).  Suitable justifications for remaining in CHM101 include successful completion of a high school chemistry class, relatively high grades in other math and/or science classes, high motivation to succeed. 

CHM 101 (Fall 2008)
    Fall 2008 General Chemistry LECTURE Schedule:
    101.1:  MW 11:00am-12:50pm (Wallace)
    101.2:  MW 6:00 - 7:50pm  (Stevenson) 
    101.3:  MW 11:00am-12:50pm (Wallace)
    101.4:  MW 11:00am-12:50pm (Wallace)

    Fall 2008 General Chemistry LAB Schedule:
    101.1:  TuTh 3:30 - 5:45pm  (Wallace)
    101.2:  TuTh 6:00 - 8:15pm  (Jaroszewski)
    101.3:  TuTh 9:05 - 11:20am  (Oleson)
    101.4:  MW 1:05 - 3:20pm  (Wallace)


CHM 102 (Winter 2008): MW 11:00am-12:15pm lecture
    Winter 2008 General Chemistry Lab Schedule:
    102.1:  TuTh 1:00 - 3:50pm (Wallace)  revised 11/16/2007
    102.2:  TuTh 9:10am - 12:00noon (Oleson) 

   
CHM 103 (Spring 2008): MW 9:30-10:45am lecture
    Spring 2007 General Chemistry Lab Schedule:
    103.1:  TuTh 1:05 - 3:55pm (Stevenson)
    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.
