Pre-registration for 300-level biology classes (not intensives) is handled through a lottery system.\u00a0\u00a0The Biology Department uses a lottery process to assign students to 300-level biology classes (designated CLS) in the most equitable manner possible, according to students\u2019 needs and interests. Any student wishing to take a Fall 2026 300-level biology CLS class must go through the \u201clottery\u201d process to register.<\/strong>\u00a0 See this page<\/a> for a listing of the classes that use this lottery.<\/p>\n

The application to participate in the lottery is due no later than Friday, April 17 at 11:59pm EST.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This application is NOT first come, first served. We won\u2019t start sorting through applications, assigning draw numbers, etc., until after the deadline so please only submit your application when you are ready.\u00a0In particular, pay attention to other courses you need to take and avoid requesting 300-level biology classes that conflict with those other courses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the application deadline, the department will randomly assign each applicant a draw number. In Round 1 of the lottery, rising seniors who need to take a class will be entered into their first class by draw number; ordinarily, students will be placed into the highest ranked course on their list that still has a seat available.\u00a0 In Round 2, rising seniors needing to take a second class will be assigned to a second class according to a second randomly assigned draw number.\u00a0 Because we need to ensure that every rising senior has met their major requirements, placement into seminars may deviate from draw order and\/or rank preferences.\u00a0 In Round 3,\u00a0 rising seniors and then rising juniors wishing to take a class will be placed into the highest ranked class on their list that still has a seat available.<\/p>\n

All applicants for the lottery will be notified of the lottery results on the afternoon of Monday, April 20th<\/strong>.\u00a0 If you have gotten a spot in a class, we will register you for the class directly so please do not request them through the pre-reg system.<\/p>\n

Please complete the application form below fully and accurately.\u00a0 Inaccurate information about pre-requisites taken will result in the dropping of a student from a course.\u00a0 Note, students may only take a maximum of three Vassar 300-level biology classes (CLS) (exception=courses transferred from JYA).\u00a0 If you have any questions about the form or the lottery process, please contact Dr. Kennell (jekennell@vassar.edu).<\/p>\n
