• Registration for courses happens twice a year, Phase I before the semester begins, Phase II at the beginning of the semester. 
• Students will receive their time tickets to register the day before registration begins. 
• Students graduating under the 2012-2013 catalog year or later must fulfill the Global Perspective requirement:  http://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/core-curriculum/.  This means any student who started at Tech in Summer 2012 or later.  If you started earlier than Summer 2012, you don't need the GP, no matter what DegreeWorks says! 
• Here is a list of humanity courses: http://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/core-curriculum/core-area-c/
  Here is a list of social science courses: http://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/core-curriculum/core-area-e/
  Here is the list of required US Perspectives courses: http://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/core-curriculum/us-perspectives/

• We can only give overloads and permits for BME courses.  We have no information on how other departments do their business.  Use this chart to find out who to contact in other departments for information, overloads, and permits:  http://www.registrar.gatech.edu/registration/oprequest.php 
• The Office of the Registrar offers a lot of registration assistance online:
• Common registration: error messages:  http://www.registrar.gatech.edu/registration/error.php
• Registration instructions: http://www.registrar.gatech.edu/registration/reginfo.php

• For many BME courses, the waitlist will be utilized.  The waitlist will be a first come first serve basis.  Advisors reserve the right to move students up on the list if there are problem situations.  Here are the instructions for using the waitlist:  http://www.registrar.gatech.edu/registration/waitlisting.php.  To see your spot on the waitlist for a class, view the "Student Detail Schedule" on OSCAR. 
• BME students can take up to nine hours of courses pass/fail by the time they graduate, but only humanity/social science courses, no BME or core courses, or certain breadth elective courses.  NOTE:  You cannot take courses you are using for Minors or Certificates pass/fail, they must all be taken for a letter grade.   All others must be taken for grade.  However, note that not all humanity/social science courses are offered pass/fall.   If you take a class pass/fail, make sure you know what the professor has in mind for what kind of grade will achieve a grade of "pass".  You also have the option of changing eligible courses from pass/fail to letter grade and vice versa by the first drop date later in the semester.  You would need to submit a Grade Mode Change form:  http://catalog.gatech.edu/rules/10/  
• The most up to date Prerequisite Chart is at http://bme.gatech.edu/bme/mybme-ug
• BMED 3610 and 4602 will be permit only for most of registration so we can be sure that those graduating that semester (including Summer) get into those classes first.
• A minimum grade of C is required for the following courses only:
  • BMED 1300 Problems in BME I​
  • BMED 2210 Conservation Principles in BME​
  • CHEM 1310 or 1211K
  • COE 2001 Statics
  • CS 1371 Computing for Engineers  (only as a prerequisite for ECE 2026)
  • MATH 1501 Calculus I
  • PHYS 2211 Physics I

An average grade of C (as computed using most recent grade for repeated courses) is required for the following sets of course:

• MATH* 1501/1502/1551/1552/1553/2401/2551/2403/2552
• All required BMED core courses (1300 or 2250, 2210, 2300 or 2310, 3100, 3110, 3300 or 3310, 3400, 3510 or 3520, 3600, 3610, 4602)
• AP or transfer credit for MATH courses would be considered as a “B” for the purposes of computation of the average grade

• Depth and Breadth electives:  Remember that you will need 12 hours of depth elective credits, and 15 hours of breadth elective credits to graduate.  The requirements are described here: 
  Depth:  https://www.bme.gatech.edu/bme/undergrad-depth
  Breadth:  https://www.bme.gatech.edu/bme/undergrad-breadth
   
• Students who have taken MATH 3770 can still use that for their statistics requirement.  MATH 3670 cannot be used for statistics credit. 
• BMED 3400 is a prerequisite for BMED 3110.  You cannot take the concurrently.
• ECE 2026:  This three credit course is equal to the four credit ECE 2025, which was discontinued.  You can use either for depth elective credit.
• APPH 1040/1050:  This course replaces HPS 1040.  You can take either APPH 1040 or 1050 to satisfy the wellness requirement.  If you already took HPS 1040, that also satisfies the requirement.
• Yes, you can take CHEM 4511 instead of CHEM 3511 for the pre-health Biochemistry requirement. 
• No, you can't take ECE 3710 and 3741 concurrently, 3710 is a prerequisite for 3741.
