ACADEMICS

What courses are needed for a Bioengineer? All courses required to complete the degree are listed on the program flowcharts
Bioengineering Courses (utoledo.edu)
Do I have to follow the BIOE flowchart? Yes, it is imperative that students follow their flowchart. The flowchart will list when students go on co-ops and when to take classes. Certain courses are only offered once a year. Courses need to be taken in order to meet prerequisites requirements. Deviating from the flowchart could delay graduation (possibly up to one year).
What does Corequisite mean? Corequisite: A course that is required to be taken simultaneously with another course.
What does Prerequisite mean? Prerequisite: A course or a placement test that is required to be completed with a passing grade before being able to register for a specific course. You must complete prerequisites before taking other courses. Prerequisites are listed under the portal when looking up classes. They will be strictly enforced.
What is a degree audit report? The Degree Audit Report (DAR) provides information regarding the degree requirements for specific majors and minors. Specifically, the DAR shows how the completed course information from a student's transcript is used towards satisfying the degree requirements.

How do I get a degree audit report? Students may access Degree Audit Reports by logging into their myUT portal account. They are very important to understand how courses transfer from other universities such as College Credit Plus; it also reflects AP (Advanced Placement) credit.
How often should I get a degree audit report? In order to track progress toward degree completion, students should obtain a current degree audit each time they register for classes or make significant changes to their schedules.
Will my transfer credit appear on my Degree Audit Report? Yes, it should reflect the courses that you have taken at a different school
What if my Degree Audit Report (DAR) appears to be incorrect? Students who notice a possible error on the DAR should report the problem to Darlene Stevens as soon as possible.

Where do I find a list of approved core electives? They are listed in the university catalog: Core Curriculum Courses
What are technical electives? To gain expertise in a specific bioengineering discipline, students are required to select and complete an elective track sequence to satisfy the BSBE program requirements PRIOR to taking their first technical elective course (see link for the BSBE Elective Sequence Checkout Sheet). This consists of completing a series of five technical electives (15 credit hours) in engineering, mathematics, or the natural sciences. These must include two technical electives that are BIOE 4XXX level courses. To satisfy the track completion requirement, a minimum of three courses (9 hours) must be completed within the selected track category. The remaining two elective courses (6 hours) may be completed within any of the track categories
To find what technical electives are offered each semester please look up classes through myUT portal.

What requirements does my AP credit cover? As long as you have sent your AP scores to the university, they will be listed in your degree audit which is in myUTportal.
What requirements does my CCP (College Credit Plus) cover? You can utilize the Transferology website: which allows you to search for transfer equivalencies. Transfer Equivalencies (utoledo.edu)

Contact your advisor Darlene Stevens

Talk to your instructor

Seek assistance--go to your professor's office hours, contact the Learning Enhancement Center (LEC) in Carlson Library for free tutoring and coaching, meet with your Teaching Assistant (TA).

Weigh your options--is it too late to drop the class? Withdraw? What are the consequences of doing so?

Are you going to ALL classes, taking notes, reading all assignments, asking questions, studying 2 hours outside of class for every 1 hour of class time? Try to form a study group with fellow classmates to review material and challenge each other.

What is the process for pursuing a grade recalculation (deletion)?

Fill out the form electronically; you will need the section number of the class you took both times. This is located on your schedule not on your academic transcript
Once it is filled out, email the professor you took the course from originally, after they sign it; please send the form to
Darlene Stevens@utoledo.edu or call 419.530.8078
It will then be forwarded to the undergraduate studies office after verifying the information & keep a copy for your file
It could take up to a week or two for the form to be processed.
To see if it has been processed; there will be an E (excluded) on the right-hand side of your transcript next to the class you took; you will also notice that your GPA would be higher. It is also listed on your degree audit
