Chemistry 5990

Chemistry 5990 Guidelines: Chemistry Comprehensive Examinations Chemistry 5990 (semester catalog) is a zero unit, credit/no credit class which is taken by students completing the comprehensive examinations (student wishing to earn a B.S. degree in either Chemistry or Biochemistry concentration). Students who enroll must be within one year of graduating, and have senior status. Students will earn a grade of "incomplete" in CHEM 5990, until either the comprehensive exam is passed, or until three attempts have elapsed. Each individual exam is assigned a letter grade, A-F, based on predetermined criteria. A grade of "credit" is assigned to the CHEM 5990 course after the student passes the exam in 1-3 attempts; a grade of "no credit" is assigned should the student not pass after three attempts or one calendar year has passed. Exams may be repeated up to three times within that year.  Students will be enrolled in the Blackboard site for Chem 5990 when they register for the exam; the corresponding Canvas site will be used for communication for the course.
