Fall 2020 NTR Registration & Prereq Updates
Some NTR courses have pre-reqs that may differ from the Course Schedule. Please see below for common registration questions and any pre-req changes for FALL 2020 NTR courses.
NTR 312 Intro to Nutritional Sciences & NTR 112L Nutritional Sciences Lab
- Correct pre-reqs: C- or better in CH 301 & calculus or statistics; and C- or concurrent registration in BIO 311C and CH 302
- Add lab first, then lecture - waitlist for two lab sections if needed. Must get into lab from waitlist before you can add NTR 312. Getting into NTR 112L guarantees that you'll get into NTR 312.
- 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 take lecture & lab together (exception: can take NTR 312 in summer and then NTR 112L in fall)
- NTR 112L is more like a discussion section held in a computer lab rather than 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.
- Those planning to become NTR majors by fall 2020: you are able to add yourself to the waitlist for NTR 107L lab any time during registration and add/drop. Once your major is updated to Nutrition, you will have priority into any avaialble seats 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.

prereq updates for fall 2020 (may be different than what's on course schedule)
Here are updates about enforced prerequisite and other important notes. If a class is not on this chart, then the prerequisites stated in the Course Schedule are accurate.
NTR 365 Principles & Applications in Community Engagement (#52205 T/TH 9:30-11:00am)
See promotional video below made by instructor Michele Hockett Cooper (please note: when she mentions "BA" degree track, this is referring to the "BS" degree options")
This course involves connecting with a local public school teacher to teach nutrition/cooking/gardening lessons with elementary school kids. You always have at least one partner to teach the lessons with!
Pre/co-requisites:
- C- or better or concurrent enrollment in NTR 306 or NTR 312/312H (note: NTR 306 and NTR 312 are being offered online this summer. NTR 306 only counts toward NTR degree with "A" grade if it was taken before becoming a NTR major, so please take NTR 312 if you haven't taken this yet).
- Will be a Sophomore, Junior, or Senior in fall 2020
Required two-semester commitment: NTR 365 (fall) + NTR 365L (spring)
- NTR 365 (fall): can satisfy any “NTR 365” requirement for B.S. Nutrition degree plans (except HANS: this could count as “additional nutrition hours”)
- NTR 365L (spring): can satisfy “3 hours Nutrition Research” for any B.S. Nutrition degree plan (except HANS: this could count as “additional nutrition hours”)
For BSA Nutrition: this sequence would count as 6 hours upper-division NTR
Availability requirement:
It is okay if you have classes scheduled immediately before and/or after NTR 365 class time!
However, you must have one available 3-hour time block during the week (between hours of 8am-3pm for visiting public school site).
- This 3-hour block can either include the NTR 365 class time (ex. you are available 8:00-11:00a or 9:30a-12:30p on a Tuesday or Thursday) or it can be another day or time if you have classes scheduled right before and/or after the NTR 365 class time. Note: you will also meet during scheduled NTR 365 class time if your 3-hour block needs to be another day/time.

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.
