WORKSHEET FOR SELECTING A COURSE SEQUENCE
Computational Concentration
Please complete this form and return it, along with the Student Information Form (found in the Biology Major
Manual), to the Biology Academic Office, Leidy Lab, room 102. When you are provisionally admitted to the
major, you will be assigned to an advisor and these documents will be part of your major file.
You will be discussing your course selections with your major advisor. The aim is to construct a combination
that closely reflects your specific interests. Once your major advisor has approved this form, retain a copy for
yourself and return the original form, along with your major file, to the Biology Academic Office, Leidy Lab,
room 102. You may make changes in your course plan, even after your advisor has signed the course plan,
however, it is your responsibility to ensure that your new course choices fulfill the concentration requirements.
