Some NTR courses have pre-reqs that may differ from the Course Schedule.  Please see below for commin registration questions and any pre-req changes for FALL 2019 NTR courses.

NTR 312 Intro to Nutritional Sciences & NTR 112L Nutritional Sciences Lab

• Most seats are "reserved" for nutrition and pubic health majors.  Non-majors (including prospective nutrition majors) can also add/waitlist.  Priority is given to nutrition majors and graduating Public Health seniors.
• Must be taken together (or 312 in summer, then 112L in fall for nutrition majors or 18-20 PBH majors). 
• Add lab first, then lecture - waitlist for two lab sections if needed
• Correct pre-reqs:
  • C- or better in CH 301
  • C- or better in a calculus or statistics course. Options: M408C, M408D, M408N, M408R, SDS 302, SDS 304, SDS 306, SDS 325H or SDS 328M
  • Credit or concurrent registration for BIO 311C, CH 302
    
    
• NTR 112L must be added first and then NTR 312 once you are registered for NTR 112L.  If you are on a waitlist for NTR 112L, you must wait to get in before you can add yourself to NTR 312.
  
  
• NTR 112L isn't like a biology or chemistry lab, so it can be combined with other science labs.
   

NTR 307 & NTR 107L Intro to Food Science & Lab

• Nutrition Majors: 
  Add NTR 107L lab first, then NTR 307 lecture.  You are required to take the lecture NTR 307 and lab NTR 107L together. 
  
  
• Non-Nutrition Majors:  You are eligible to register for NTR 307 by itself.
  
  
• For those planning to become NTR majors by fall 2019:
  NTR 107L will be opened to non-majors on Friday 5/3 and during add/drop.  Please add yourself/waitlist 107L on 5/3, or during add/drop.  You will need to be in both NTR 107L & 307 by the time school starts to keep your spot in the classes.

COMMON PREREQUISITE ISSUES: 

You may need to request a PREREQUISITE WAIVER in some cases, to avoid issues during registration.

Please email at headvising@austin.utexas.edu with name, EID, and explanation of situation if:

• For NTR 355M: You're taking ACC 310F or ACC 311 concurrently outside of UT/via University Extension and plan to register for NTR 355M the following semester.
  
  
• For honors students who have NTR 312H/312R credit:  you may have issues registering for any upper division NTR class that lists "NTR 326" as a prereq.  Please contact your advisor if you have any issues registering.

NTR 355 Undergraduate Research and NTR 352 Field Experience in Nutrition are restricted courses and require confirmation from the supervising professor to grant registration access.

A confirmation email from the supervising faculty member (typically Dr. Herzele for NTR 352) must be sent to Kelsey Lancon, Kelsey.lancon@austin.utexas.edu, either by the supervisor or forwarded from the student.

Once the confirmation email is received, you will be given access to register for the course. It is ideal that we receive this before the 4th class day of the semester, if you hope to enroll in the course. 

Some NTR courses are taught in the fall semester only or spring semester only.  NTR courses not listed below are typically offered every fall and spring.
