Life Science Department Policy on Crashers

All instructors will follow the steps below to decide which students may enroll in a class that is full:

1.     Highest priority will be given to students who need the course to complete the prerequisites for a program they are planning to enter (e.g. for pre-nursing students wishing to crash anatomy, priority will be given to those who have successfully completed  physiology and microbiology) or to those students who need the course to complete undergraduate requirements for their major.

2.      If, in the judgment of the instructor, there are still too many in the pool of people who meet step #1, priority will be given to the students who have the highest GPA in the prerequisite courses that have been taken.

3.      If step #2 still leaves too many crashers, a lottery will be conducted. 

The instructor should enroll eligible crashers during the first class meeting; enrollment is contingent upon transcript evidence that the student shall provide no later than the second class meeting.
