For all other enrollment requests, contact the department that offers the course. We cannot manually enroll students in non-BME courses.
PHI 325, Biomedical Ethics, is a BME requirement to complete anytime before graduating. This course also satisfies one GEP requirement - Interdisciplinary Perspectives(IP) GEP or Humanities(HUM) GEP requirement, but not both.
Currently in MyPack's Degree Audit, PHI 325 is locked into fulfilling IP. If you would like this switched to HUM (and the other HUM GEP course you've taken is not a Philosophy course), once you have completed a different IP course, let your advisor know and they can shift PHI 325 from IP to HUM within the Degree Audit.
As a reminder, BME students need 5 IP and 6 HUM GEP credits to graduate. E102 satisfies 2 IP credits.
Perhaps your STEM elective or Specialty elective isn’t appearing in the correct location in your MyPack Degree Audit. The BME Advising Team will fix these inconsistencies at least one semester prior to graduation (unless there is a reason such as financial aid or other scholarships). If this happens to you, please email your advisor and they will fix it within MyPack.
Yes! We encourage students to take these courses for credit only instead of for a grade. The course will not count toward your GPA and in order to receive a Satisfactory (passing) grade, the equivalent of a C- or better is required. To make this change, in MyPackPortal > Planning and Enrollment > Enrollment Wizard > My Schedule, there should be a Edit section by your HES class with a Pencil Icon. Click that to change it to Pass/Fail.
